Cranberry Soda Bread with Lime Glaze
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups plus one tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
1 cup Craisins sweetened dried cranberries
1 large egg
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
Grated peel and juice of one lime

 Preheat oven to 425 and line baking sheet with parchment paper.  In medium bowl, whisk 1 1/3 cups milk and lemon juice; let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.  In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter until coarse crumbs form, then stir in the cranberries.

Beat the egg into the milk mixture, then stir into flour mixture just until combined.  Transfer dough to lightly floured surface and knead until dough comes together.  Form the dough into an 8 inch flat circle and bake until dark golden and crusty (25 to 30 minutes). Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the confectioner’s sugar, lime peel, lime juice and 1 tablespoon milk. Drizzle the glaze over the bread after it has cooled.
