AUNT KAY'S IRISH SODA BREAD 
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. raisins
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. caraway seeds (optional)
1/4 lb. butter
1 egg
1/2 c. sour cream
Evaporated milk

Put first 7 ingredients into bowl. Mix in softened butter and 1/2 cup sour cream. Add evaporated milk until you have a nice dough. Turn out on floured board and knead for 5 minutes. Aunt Kay bakes hers in the black iron frying pan, well greased and dusted with flour for 3/4 hour or more at 375 degrees.

My family of Hoosiers likes this without caraway seeds. Follow Irish tradition and put an "X" on the top before baking. I also sprinkle with sugar.
