Preheat oven 400 degrees
4 cups flour (all-purpose)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 tsp salt 2 cups buttermilk
Mix dry ingredient together. Add raisins and mix well. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add buttermilk. Mix a little with a spoon and finish mixing with floured hands. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for a short time. If it's too sticky add a little more flour. Be careful not to work the dough too much. It will make the bread tough. Shape into a round loaf and slice a cross on top of the bread. Bake on cookie sheet for 30-40 minutes in preheated oven. Check for doneness by tapping bottom of the loaf. When done it will sound hollow. Wrap in clean towel and let cool. Slice and enjoy with butter, jelly or both!
