Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl whisk flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry cutter/blender, work butter into the dry mixture until butter is the size of small peas.
  3. Beat egg into the buttermilk. Incorporate into until the dry ingredients until just combined. Dough will be very wet! Stir in raisins.
  4. Flour clean work surface well with flour and dump dough into the center. Sprinkle with more flour and work into a circular loaf. Transfer to baking sheet. Score an "X" over top of the loaf using a very sharp knife.
  5. Bake 35-45 minutes or until browned and thoroughly baked. Cool 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • This recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk but if you're using this substitution trick, use 1 1/2 cups milk and stir with 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to sour before using. (I use 1/4 cup less milk because it's not as thick as buttermilk.)
