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.

Ingredients

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)

Instructions

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.
