For those that don't know what cream flour is: cream flour is ground more times and sifted with finer-meshed sieves (removing more by-product) than in standard milling. It's a bit hard to come by, but has a store finder to find a place near you where it's sold or you can order it online and have it shipped where I found the recipe. You could substitute regular flour if you don't want to go to all the trouble, but cream flour's smoother texture produces lighter and fluffier results. Ingredients:
3 cups cream flour |
1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup sour milk |
1 cup raisins |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
2 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. Sift the flour, baking soda and powder into a bowl.
2. Add the sugar and raisins, and stir.
3. Add the buttermilk and form a dough.
4. On a floured surface, knead the dough by continuously folding it into itself.
5. Form a round shape and cut a cross shape on the top to keep the bread from bursting while baking.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350°F.
