2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Flour to dust
In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add raisins, if desired. Add buttermilk. Mix with a fork until moistened.
Knead gently about 1 minute. Shape into a ball. Place dough on a greased cookie sheet or pie plate and flatten into a 7-inch circle. Dough will be about 1 1/2 inches thick. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool. Brush top with melted butter. Dust with flour. Makes 1 loaf.
