Instructions

Combine dry ingredients except for raisins. Rub in the butter with your fingers. Stir in the buttermilk, mixing well. Add raisins and additional flour as needed if too soft. Dough should be sticky but hold a shape. Mix with a dough hook or knead by hand for a couple minutes.
On a parchment-lined cookie sheet, shape into a flattened ball about 10 inches in diameter. Cut a cross in the top. Bake at 350 F for 50-60 min. Let cool before cutting.

Notes

This is a dense, hearty (very flavorful) bread, so don't fear your baking soda is old when it doesn't come our light and fluffy!
