Recipe
Set a rack in the middle level of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add the butter in small pats and mix with hands until butter disappears. Stir in raisins. In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg together and add to the dough mixture. Turn the dough on a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf. Transfer the loaf to a cookie sheet covered with parchment or foil and cut a cross in the top. Bake for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 350 and back for 15-20 minutes more until a toothpick emerges clean.
