I think I shall try this one this week ... from allrecipes.com , good
reviews ... but without the caraway seeds.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups raisins
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
DIRECTIONS:
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch round
cast iron skillet or a 9 inch round baking or cake pan.
2.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour (reserving 1 tablespoon), sugar,
baking powder, baking soda, salt, raisins and caraway seeds. In a
small bowl, blend eggs, buttermilk and sour cream. Stir the liquid
mixture into flour mixture just until flour is moistened. Knead dough
in bowl about 10 to 12 strokes. Dough will be sticky. Place the dough
in the prepared skillet or pan and pat down. Cut a 4x3/4 inch deep
slit in the top of the bread. Dust with reserved flour
3.
Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 65 to 75
minutes. Let cool and turn bread onto a wire rack.
