Instructions

1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, caraway seeds (if using), baking soda, and salt until combined.

3: Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and work it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4: Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk, then add the Jameson-soaked raisins (if using). Stir until combined.

5: Gather the dough and knead a few times on a floured surface until it forms a ball. Shape into a round loaf about 1.5 inches thick.

6: Place the loaf in a greased 8- or 9-inch round cake pan and score an X on top.

7: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
