Skillet Irish Soda Bread Served With Cheddar and Apples

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch oven-proof skillet and line with parchment or waxed paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Stir in the raisins or currants and caraway seeds.

Step 3

Pour batter into skillet. Brush top with remaining butter. Bake until golden and firm to touch, about 1 hour. Cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving with Cheddar and apples.
