Ingredients

150g raisins

120ml whiskey

360g all-purpose flour

100g white sugar

15g baking powder

5g salt

2.5g baking soda

15g grated orange peel

15g caraway seeds

320ml buttermilk

60g butter, melted

120g butter at room temperature

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine raisins and whiskey. Allow to soak for 8 hours to overnight.

Step 2

The following day, strain the raisins and reserve the whiskey. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a 2-liter casserole dish.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir in the drained raisins, orange peel, and caraway seeds. Beat in buttermilk and 1/4 cup of melted butter until the batter is thick. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 70 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat 120g of butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in the reserved whiskey, 1 teaspoon at a time, to taste. Serve the whiskey butter alongside the soda bread.
