- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C / gas mark 5.
- Combine flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt. Rub butter into flour mixture. Add buttermilk until dough is soft. Stir in currants.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth. Form dough into a 18cm round. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut a cross in the top of the loaf. This allows the loaf to expand.

A nice, simple soda bread that is moist and has good flavor. I used my food processor to cut the butter into the flour mixture and then mixed the buttermilk in. I removed the dough from the food processor and kneaded the raisins into the dough. Super easy and great with a cup of tea. - 12 Mar 2012
