Easy Irish Soda Bread 101:

*Before starting recipe, put raisins into a small bowl and cover with boiling water.  Let rest for two minutes and then drain well.

*Stir batter with a sturdy spoon.  Batter will be very heavy and thick.

*I use Crisco to grease the 9-in. springform pan and then pat/spread the batter evenly into the pan. 

*If removal of bottom pan is desired, wait until bread has cooled 10 minutes, and then run a metal spatula (like an off-set spatula) between the bread and bottom pan.  Remove bread to a serving tray and cut into wedges.  

*Recipe may be halved and baked in a 6x3 springform pan.  Bake for 38-43 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  If a browner top is desired, put the bread several inches under the broiler set on low until the desired color is reached.
