Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9 inch round pan with cooking spray.
- Place the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add the butter to the bowl, and use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
- Stir the raisins into the flour mixture.
- Add the buttermilk and egg to the flour mixture and stir until a stiff dough forms.
- Place the dough on a floured flat surface. Coat your hands in flour and shape the dough into a ball. The dough will be sticky.
- Transfer the ball of dough to the prepared pan. Use a sharp knife to cut an X into the top of the loaf.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
- I use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dough. If you don't have a pastry blender, two forks will do the job.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own. Combine 2 cups of milk with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Let the milk sit for about 10 minutes or until the mixture looks curdled, then proceed with the recipe.
- The dough will be sticky and soft. Use flour on your hands and on your work surface as needed to keep the dough from sticking and to form a nicely shaped loaf.
