• Stir in the raisins.
• With a wooden spoon,stir in the buttermilk just until the dry ingredients are moistened and the dough comes together.
• Empty dough onto counter and knead it lightly about 8 times until smooth but still a little sticky. If it sticks to the counter,use a bench scraper to gather it together. Avoid adding extra flour. Flour hands if absolutely necessary.
• Pat out dough into a 6 inch round and about 1 & 3/4 inches high. If it sticks flour it lightly at this stage.
• Place on baking sheet and score top 1/2" deep from top to bottom and side to side forming a cross.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease.
• Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
• With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl or 2 cup measure, mix buttermilk, honey & whiskey.
• Add all at once to dry mixture and stir just until no dry spots remain.
• Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead for 1 minute (too much will toughen and too little will inhibit rising).
• Divide dough in half and shape into round loaves.
• Place on cookie sheet. With a floured knife cut a cross 1/2 inch deep in each loaf.
• In small cup, combine whiskey and milk.
• Brush loaves with glaze.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped on bottoms. Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.
• Cut into wedges or slices and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line an 8-inch round cake pan with a large sheet of parchment paper, pressing it into the edges of the pan and leaving an overhang on 2 sides (the extra parchment will help you unmold the loaf later).
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter cubes to the flour mixture and toss to combine. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut or rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the currants and caraway seeds.
• Whisk the buttermilk and egg together in a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the buttermilk mixture into the center. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir the mixture until it starts to come together in a shaggy mass.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Turn the dough mixture out onto the floured surface and knead a few times to bring it together. Shape it into a domed disk. Place the dough into the prepared cake pan and cut a cross about 1/2-inch deep into the surface of the dough with a sharp knife. Bake until the top is puffed and lightly browned and a cake tester comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Remove from the oven and use the parchment overhang to lift the bread from the pan. Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with good Irish butter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is mixed into the flour.
• With a fork, lightly beat the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest together in a measuring cup. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture. Combine the currants with 1 tablespoon of flour and mix into the dough. It will be very wet.
• Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and knead it a few times into a round loaf. Place the loaf on the prepared sheet pan and lightly cut an X into the top of the bread with a serrated knife. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. When you tap the loaf, it will have a hollow sound.
• Cool on a baking rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C and dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then rub in the butter. Pour in the buttermilk and mix it in quickly with a table knife, then bring the dough together very lightly with your fingertips (handle it very, very gently). Now shape it into a flat, round loaf measuring 20cm/8in in diameter.
• Put the loaf on the baking sheet and score a deep cross in the top. (Traditionally, this lets the fairies out, but it also helps the bread to cook through.) Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. If it isn't ready after this time, turn it upside down on the baking sheet and bake for a few minutes more.
• Transfer to a wire rack, cover with a clean tea towel (this keeps the crust nice and soft) and leave to cool. To serve, break into quarters, then break or cut each quarter in half to make 8 wedges or slices - or simply slice across. Eat very fresh.

Steps:

• Combine according to your manufacturer's directions.
• Success Hints: Golden raisins give this bread its light flavor and look.
• Dark raisins may be subsituted but will make a darker, slightly heavier loaf.
• The sugar in the raisins creates a darker crust; use your machine's"light crust setting" if it has one.
• Dried butter milk can generally be found in the baking goods section of your supermarket.
• If you can't find buttermilk, regular dried milk can be substituted.
• If using delayed time bake, place raisins atop dry ingredients away from liquid.
• This recipe can be made using the regular, rapid and delayed time bake cycles.

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl beat eggs and stir in sour cream.
• Add the egg and sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon.
• Batter will be very thick.
• Add the raisins and caraway seeds and stir well with wooden spoon or knead in with your hands.
• Place batter in a greased 9 inch springform pan.
• Dust the top with enough flour so that you can pat the batter like a bread dough evenly in the pan without it sticking to your hands.
• With a knife make a shallow crisscross on the top.
• Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated 350ºF oven.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the whiskey to a simmer. Turn off the heat, add the raisins, and set aside for at least 15 minutes to allow the raisins to plump.
• Drain and reserve the raisins and whiskey separately.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
• Add the butter and use your hands to pinch together the butter and flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
• Add the buttermilk to the mixture and mix just until a dough begins to form. Add the whiskey-soaked raisins and 1½ teaspoons of caraway seeds. Mix just to combine.
• Shape the dough into a 7-inch (18 cm) round. Use a pastry brush to brush the top of the round with buttermilk. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon caraway seeds and flaky salt
• Cut the dough into 8 triangles and transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the scones 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the scones bake, make the whiskey butter: In a medium bowl, add the reserved whiskey to the butter, a little at a time, mixing after each addition until fully combined. Stir in the salt.
• Serve the scones warm or at room temperature with the whiskey butter alongside.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl with a fork.
• Pour in milk slowly and stir until dough is sticky.
• Sprinkle counter top with flour. Knead dough lightly on counter top 10 to 15 seconds ONLY. Too much will make the bread heavy.
• Grease bottom and sides of corning ware or bread pan and place dough in middle.
• Slice with and "X" across top of dough.
• Place lid on top or cover with another pan. Foil works in a pinch.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove lid (or any cover from pan) and bake an additional 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven.
• FOR BEST RESULTS! Place a damp paper towel over the bread when cooling. Some say cover with a tea towel and sprinkle water over the top. I am not into using my tea towels, AKA dish towels, for bread covering. What I do is take two paper towels folded over one another, soak them, wring them out, place the folded towels in a single layer over the bread with a pan holder over that until cooled.
• Slice, enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a small saucepan or in the microwave, bring the whiskey and honey to a boil and add the raisins or currants. Cover and off the heat. Set aside and let steep.
• Butter a round 1 1/2 to 2 quart baking dish, set aside.
• Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl; use a wire whisk to combine.
• In a small bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the sour cream, mixing well to combine.
• Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stir well with a wooden spoon (batter will be thick).
• Stir in the whiskey-soaked raisins or currants (along with the whiskey-honey they were steeped in); blend well.
• Turn batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Dust the top with flour and pat the batter evenly in the pan with your hands.
• Use a sharp knife to make a cross on the top.
• Bake for 50 minutes in preheated 350 F oven.
• Remove to a rack and let cool for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a serving dish. Cut into wedges and serve warm with real butter.
