Ingredients:

2 cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda (make sure it’s a fairly fresh box)
1 cup sugar
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick spray.

Sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda.

Add sugar, raisins, buttermilk and eggs and mix.

Pour mixture into pan and bake for 40 minutes.

When done, the top should be golden brown and a toothpick should come cleanly out of the center.

While the bread is still warm, melt about 1 Tbsp. of butter and brush on top of the loaf. Sprinkle sugar in the butter.

To eat, slather with butter! It’s really delicious that way! Especially with a hot cup of tea.

Erin go braugh!
