IRISH SODA BREAD for St. Patrick’s Day

2 cups white flour           
2 cups whole wheat flour           
1/2 cup sugar            
 2 tsp. baking soda        
1 tsp. salt       
4 tbsp. butter, chilled              
1 cup raisins                   
1 1/2 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter until it is pea-sized. Stir in the raisins and buttermilk or yogurt. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead 1 minute, and shape into a disk. Cut an "X" in the top and bake on a greased baking sheet for 45 to 50 minutes.  Makes one 8-inch-wide loaf.
