Grandma McAndrews' Irish Soda Bread Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl stir together the flour sugar baking soda baking powder and salt. In another bowl whisk together eggs buttermilk and corn oil. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Add the raisins and stir a few times just until the ingredients come together into a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and with floured hands shape dough into a ball. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and cut a large cross in the top with a sharp knife.

Place the bread on a middle rack of the preheated oven and bake until golden brown 30 to 40 minutes.
