Soda Bread

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup currants

1 1/4 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon melted butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Combine flours, soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.  Stir in currants.  Add buttermilk and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.  Add more buttermilk if needed.  Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1 minute.  Shape into a ball, place on a greased baking sheet.  Pat down into a 8" circle and with a sharp knife, cut a 1/2" V in top of dough.  Bake at 375 for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown, remove to a rack and brush with melted butter.  Serve warm or room temperature.
