How to Make Irish Soda Bread

Step-by-Step

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until crumbly.
Stir in raisins and caraway seeds.
Combine buttermilk and egg. Add to the crumb mixture.

Using a sharp knife, cut a 4" cross about 1/4" deep on top of each loaf.
Brush with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired.
