Irish Currant Bread;Gluten Free

It's coming up on St. Patricks Day and I have the easiest Irish Bread to make for your family and friends. It is a quick bread recipe that makes a nice dense hearty loaf without all the trouble of a yeast bread. It is made from simple ingredients that are always in my house and I can change it up by substituting raisins or dates for the currants. I would even say that most dried fruits would work here so if you have a particular favorite, experiment and have fun. When I make this for St. Patrick's Day I always make two loaves because it is fantastic toasted with butter the next morning for breakfast! 

Golden Brown Right out of the Oven



Sliced and Ready to Eat or Toast

Recipe:

2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
dash cinnamon & nutmeg
3/4 cup currants
2 extra-large eggs
1/3 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients together and add to the dry ingredients. Add the currants and stir with a wooden spoon. The mixture will be dry. Add an additional tablespoon of milk if needed to moisten all the dry ingredients.  Spoon into a loaf pan that has been greased and dusted with some gluten free baking mix.  Bake 45-50 minutes until golden brown.  Cool and slice.
