Irish Soda Bread

1/2 cup white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
3 cups raisins (I don't add these)
1 TB caraway seeds (I don't add these either)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch round cast iron skillet, or 9 in round cake or baking pan. (I like to use and oval casserole dish that way it only bakes for an hour.)

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, raisins(optional), and caraway seeds (optional). In a small bowl, blend eggs, butter milk and sour cream. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour mixture just until flour is moistened. Knead dough in bowl about 10 to 12 strokes, Dough will be sticky. Place the dough in the prepared pan. Bake for 60-75 min.
