- 3 ½ C flour
- ¼ C sugar
- 1 t baking soda
- 1 1/2 t salt
- 2 T caraway seeds
- 1 egg
- 1 C buttermilk
- ¼ C currants
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter a 9×5 loaf pan. In large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, beat the egg and combine well with the buttermilk. Add wet to dry and mix with a wooden spoon, adding currants until you have shaggy dough. Turn onto a board, knead lightly until you can form a loaf shape. Place in pan. I like to brush the top with a little milk and sprinkle with some coarse sugar. Bake 20 minutes, turn oven down to 375 degrees and bake another 20 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a rack. Amazing taste and texture when sliced and spread with butter! Enjoy.
