Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 1/2 tbsp sugar (plus what falls into bowl lol)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3/4-1 cup raisins (soaked in warm water until plumped. my tweak is to use jameson's, just a little bit more than to cov)
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk

Directions:

  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. Let sit for 10 minutes (it rises) then cut an X across the top and brush with milk. Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown. 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
  6. I recommend letting it cool slightly, then while still warm enjoy a slice with a lot of butter and huge cup of tea. Some clotted cream and jam would be nice too.
