directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Using your hands, cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Mix in caraway seeds and raisins.
In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, baking soda and egg until combined. Add wet ingredients to bowl with dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Knead dough 4 to 5 times. Place dough in an 8" cast-iron skillet. Bake until top is browned, about 1 hour.
Tip: A good batch of soda bread will sound hollow when you knock on it lightly.
