Sweet Soda Bread

This is my other recipe for quick Irish Soda Bread.
It's a slightly sweet version that's especially
nice with coffee or tea.
 Butter, an egg, baking powder and sugar are
added to my classic Irish Soda Bread.
You can also add 1C of raisins. 
Then it's called Spotted Dog.
If you don't have buttermilk combine 1C milk
with 1t apple cider vinegar and let sit for 5 mins.
Whisk in the egg and the melted butter.
 Combine with the dry ingredients and lightly mix.
Dough will be sticky
(see my classic recipe.)
Put into a greased pan and cut a cross on top.
Spread with 1T reserved liquid ingredients.
Bake @375 for about 45 minutes, or
until golden.
 Eat warm with lots of butter.
Good with soups, chili, or just with butter and jam.
It's nice toasted too.
A very easy quick bread for any
time of the year!

times and form into a disk. Put into
