GOOD NEWS!! No yeast makes this an easier bread. The buttermilk and the cold butter is the secret this breads tastiness. SO do not go thinking you can use regular milk and counter butter… follow the instructions!
I suggest slicing, toasting and smearing some butter when serving.

- dough – mix until crumbly – (flour – sugar – baking powder – salt – butter)

- wet mix – (eggs – buttermilk and baking soda) – set aside
- raisins – drain them and add them to the dough mix
- add the wet mix to the flour mix
- surface – add about a half a cup or a cup of flour to the counter and knead the shit out of the dough until smooth
- divide the dough into 2 – this recipe makes 2 breads – ball them up a bit
- place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet – let them sit for about 30 minutes
- cut a CROSS on the top – across the bread and brush with egg (sprinkle some RAW sugar on top if you wanna get FANCY)
