4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon each: baking soda, baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 1/3 cups buttermilk

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 cup raisins or craisins

 

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cast-iron skillet or large baking sheet. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Combine butter, buttermilk and egg in a smaller bowl. Add the liquids to the dry ingredients, pouring it into the well and stirring to form a soft dough. Add raisins and mix lightly. With lightly floured hands, transfer batter to baking sheet, shaping into a ball. Slash an “X” across the top. Bake until set, 50 to 60 minutes.
