Nana'S Irish Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 c. unbleached flour
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. caraway seed
2 Tbsp. soft butter
1 egg
1 c. raisins
1 3/4 c. (about) buttermilk
2 Tbsp. sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. With a fork, mix in egg and butter.
Add raisins, stir well.
Add buttermilk, a little at a time, just enough to make the batter very thick; it should be very hard to stir.
Spoon it into a well-greased cast-iron skillet, sprinkle sugar over top.
Bake about 45 minutes.
Turn out of pan immediately, let bread cool.
