INGREDIENTS:
5 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda 1-1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2-1/2 cups raisins 3 tablespoons caraway seeds 2-1/2 cups whole buttermilk
1 egg, beaten



1 Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
2 Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter, using two knifes or a pastry blender, until the mixture is the texture of cornmeal.
3 Add the raisins and caraway seeds; mix well. Add the buttermilk and egg and stir until just blended.
4 Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 50 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from the pans to cool completely.
