My mom bugged grandpa for this recipe but he told her he didn't have one. So, when he made the bread one day she captured each ingredient in a bowl and measured it and put it in the bowl he planned to mix it in!
Ingredients
- all-purpose flour: 3 cups
- baking soda: 0.5 tsp
- white sugar: 2 Tbsp
- raisins: 0.5 cup
- egg: 1 piece (beaten)
- buttermilk: 1 cup
- margarine: 2 Tbsp (melted)

Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cast iron skillet.
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and sugar. Toss the raisins with the flour mixture until coated. Make a well in the center and add the egg, buttermilk, and melted margarine. Stir until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few quick turns just to even out the dough. Handle the dough as little as possible. Pat into a flat circle, and place into the prepared pan.
-
Bake the bread for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden.
