Easy Irish Soda Bread

8 cups biscuit mix
2 cups raisins
8 tablespoons caraway seeds
1/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 1/3 cups milk

Mix biscuit mix, raisins, caraway seeds and sugar. Beat eggs and milk and add all at once to dry ingredients. Stir to form a sticky dough. Knead on a lightly floured board a few times to form a smooth ball. Cut dough into two pieces. Shape pieces of dough into 2 smooth balls. Place balls on greased cookie sheets. With a sharp knife cut a cross, 1/2-inch deep in the center of each ball of dough. Bake in a preheated hot oven (400 degrees F) for 25-30 minutes or until richly browned and the center feels firm to the touch. Cool thoroughly on a rack before cutting into thin slices. Spread thickly with butter or margarine. This bread can be wrapped in foil and frozen for future use. When ready to serve, thaw in wrappings for 2 hours.
Makes 2 loaves, each about 8 inches in diameter.

Rice Spoon Bread



Ok, I followed the recipe and was wondering if it is too brown on top and if this recipe is suppose to be like a chiffon type cake with custard in it? Do you take it out of the pan or scoop it up? I want to try this again as it tasted fine and good, but wasn't sure what it was suppose to look like. I went on google search and found only 1 picture already in a bowl. And it said to cook until set.???
I baked it a little longer than the 45 minutes as it was running and then the extra 8 minutes the top was real brown, as you can see in the picture. So does anyone have a picture or instructions on how to properly finish this bread (cake?). It did look good, but I just didn't think it was cooked all the way through. Please put suggestions and help in the comments. Thanks!
