Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, caraway seeds, sugar, and orange zest until well combined. Cut in butter with pastry blender or using 2 knives until dry ingredients resemble coarse breadcrumbs.

Stir in raisins.

Add buttermilk and stir to mix. Gently knead several times until dough forms.

Place dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and pat to form a 6 inch circle. Dust loaf with flour. Cut a cross on the top of the loaf about ½ inch deep.

Bake for approximately 35 minutes. When you tap the loaf, it should have a hollow sound.

Remove and cool on a rack.
