Time 1h20m

Yield 1 loaf, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups unsifted flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
4 ounces butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces and left in the refrigerator un use
1/2 lb raisins (Sunmaid for baking are best) (optional)
1 teaspoon caraway seed (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Toss mixture with hands or wire whisk to make it light and airy.
  • Put dry mixture and butter into a food processor and pulse a few times until butter is the size of peas Return to bowl and add raisins and/or caraway seeds if using.
  • Beat eggs in a separate bowl, add buttermilk and blend well.
  • Pour egg mixture, a little at a time, into dry mixture.
  • Blend well with a spoon or spatula.
  • Don't overmix.
  • Dough should be heavy, but not too wet.
  • If too dry, add a little more buttermilk.
  • Dust hands with flour and mold dough into a round.
  • Place dough into a greased 9" round pan.
  • Dust top generously with flour.
  • Cut a deep cross into the dough.
  • This will prevent the bread from cracking, and it looks traditional.
  • Bake at 350°F for one hour, or until well browned and center is not doughy.
  • Cool on rack, and serve warm w/butter and jam.
