Default Irish Soda Bread - Looking for a good recipe

Sunday I went looking for a new recipe for Irish Soda bread as I can't find
my favorite anywhere. I went to food network and found a recipe and printed
it out, but looking at it, I found that the originator of this recipe called
for 15 minutes at 450, then turn down to 400 for 30 minutes more.
(Creamation!??)

So I went looking for another and (LO & BEHOLD), the one I liked was by the
same chef, only this time it was 45 minutes at 375. It did not include
baking powder, just baking soda. An aside amusement: Bobby Flay's wife
asked him why he used both in a biscuit recipe, and he stammered out a
reply, something like, "because they work differently," to which she replied
something, like "Oh, Great!)

The recipe I tried is certainly not the best I've had, so since it's almost
the 17th, can anyone share their favorite Irish Soda Bread. (Preferably a
basic recipe without raisins.)
Thanks so much,
Dee Dee
