Irish Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 c. flour
1 c. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
5 tsp. cooled melted butter or margarine
1 1/2 c. milk, plus 2 Tbsp.
2 eggs
1 c. walnuts
1 c. raisins
3/4 c. currants (if you like them, I do not use)

Preparation

Grease and flour pan.
Bake in 350\u00b0 oven.
Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl and then in a separate bowl mix eggs and milk together (eggs first and then add the milk).
Add milk and egg mixture to the dry ingredients and then add the melted butter. Combine the walnuts and raisins (and currants if used) to mixture. Sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking.
Takes about 60 minutes.
About 10 minutes before it is done, you can spread some butter on top to make it golden brown.
Before adding raisins, soak them in hot water for a few minutes to soften.
Drain well.
