Answer 3

4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon double acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups dark seedless raisins (optional)
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
2 eggs
1 1/2 buttermilk


in a large bowl, with fork, mix flour and next 4 ingredients. then cut in (or break up) butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. stir in raisins and caraway seeds.

in a small bowl with fork, beat eggs slightly, remove 1 tablespoon and reserve. stir buttermilk into egg mix. stir liquid into dry mix just until flour is moist. the dough WILL be sticky

turn dough onto floured surface, with floured hands knead dough about ten strokes. shape dough into a ball. place dough in a casserole dish, with sharp knife cut a 4 inch cross about 1/4 inch deep. brush dough with the reserved egg.

bake about 1 hour 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. cool in casserole on wire rack for 10 minutes, remove from casserole and let cool completely on rack ( i know that this is the hardest part, but it must be done for bread to turn out)

this receipt comes from the good housekeeping cookbook 1973
