Well on this St. Patrick's Day I haven't found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but I did find a delicious Irish Soda Bread recipe. This bread is perfect to go along with your corned beef, cabbage and mashed potatoes (dyed green with food coloring of course!). Soda Bread is a very quick and easy bread that freezes well. This recipe is from Ms. Crocker.

3 Tb. butter softened
2 1/2 cups flour
2 Tb. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup raisins
3/4 cup buttermilk

1. Heat over to 375 degrees F. Grease cookie sheet.

2. Cut butter into flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in large bowl until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in raisins and just enough buttermilk so dough leaves side of bowl.

3. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Shape into round loaf, about 6 1/2 inches in diameter. Place on cookie sheet. Cut an X shape about 1/2 inch deep through loaf with floured knife.

4. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with butter or margarine, softened, if desired.
