Even though I’ve got no Irish blood I now fully buy in to the “everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day” mentality. ☘️🇮🇪🤍

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Plump your currants. This step is optional. If you aren’t using dried fruit you can skip completely, but I think rehydrating your currants makes the bread so much better! Just boil a small pot of water. When it reaches boil, turn off heat and add the currants. Place a lid on and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain into a colander.
Sift your flour using a mesh strainer.
Add sugar, baking soda, and kosher salt to the flour.
Use a pastry cutter to add cold butter to the flour mixture.
In small increments add vegetable oil to the flour mixture, continuing to use the pastry cutter to combine.
Add your currants (raisins or chocolate chips would be great too!). Toss them up in the flour.
In a glass measuring cup, add your buttermilk, egg and egg yolk. Whisk until fully combined.
Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture with a rubber spatula.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Flour your hands a bit and knead just once or twice, shaping into about a 7 inch circle. Don’t over-knead!
Spread butter on a cast iron skillet. Transfer the loaf to the skillet.
Bake for 20 minutes uncovered, then cover with foil and bake for another 35 minutes. Overall, it’ll take about 50-60 minutes.
