Ingredients: 2 ¼ cups flour; 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder; ½ teaspoon baking soda; ½ teaspoon salt; 3 ½ tablespoons sugar (plus what falls into bowl LOL); ¼ cup butter, I use butter flavor crisco; 34-1 cup raisins (soaked in warm water until plumped.

Servings: persons

2 ¼ cups flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
3 ½ tablespoons sugar (plus what falls into bowl LOL)
¼ cup butter, I use butter flavor crisco
34-1 cup raisins (soaked in warm water until plumped. My tweak is to use Jameson's, just a little bit more than to cov)
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 egg
⅔ cup buttermilk

1
In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.
2
Cut the butter or Crisco into chunks and mix into the dry with a pastry cutter until well mixed.
3
Then add the raisins and caraway seeds.
4
In a smaller bowl mix the egg with the buttermilk until blended.
5
Pour the wet into the dry and mix together when it starts to form a ball then go in to the bowl with your hands and mix the rest together until all mixed (dough is sticky) then form a bla and place it on a greased cookie sheet.
6
Let sit for 10 minutes (it rises) then cut an X across the top and brush with milk.
7
Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
8
I find the more loaves I bake you need to lessen the bake time , my first 2 took the 35 minutes the last 2 only 25
9
I recommend letting it cool slightly, then while still warm enjoy a slice with a lot of butter and huge cup of tea.
10
Some clotted cream and jam would be nice too.
