IRISH SODA BREAD

3 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup raisins
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk

In a large bowl, combine first five ingredients. Stir in raisins. Set aside 1 Tbsp. beaten egg. In a bowl, combine the milk, oil, and remaining eggs; stir into flour mixture just until moistened (dough will be sticky). Transfer to a greased 9-in. round baking pan; brush top with reserved egg. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool. Slice or cut into wedges.
