This came out of the Holy Ghost Church Cookbook in Tiverton, Rhode Island. It's not St. Patrick's Day if I don't make a few loafs.

Yield: 1 loaf

• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seed (optional)
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2/3 cup softened currants (or raisins)

In a large bowl mix together first four ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together next four ingredients.

Add wet mixture to dry mixture, then mix in currants. Pour into a greased pie dish. Slice a cross on the top of the batter. Top with a little butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
