- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup raisins and currants
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed
- 1 egg
- approximately 1/2 cup buttermilk
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl, mix together flour, salt, sugar, baking soda and baking powder. Cut in butter, then add raisins and caraway seed. Break egg into a measuring cup and add enough buttermilk to equal 3/4 cup. Add the egg mixture to the flour. Mix until blended and knead dough.
Shape into one large or two small rounds. Make a cross on top with a knife and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake in a greased iron skillet, or on a greased cookie sheet, 30 mins or until golden.
