Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Grease a skillet with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the caraway seeds and the raisins.
In a smaller bowl whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine with a wooden spoon. Dust your hands with a little bit of flour and knead the dough, either in the bowl if it's large enough, or over your floured work surface. Knead it gently just until you can form a rough ball. Do not over knead the dough.
Place the dough in the skillet and score the top in an X shape and about an inch in depth, to help cook the center.
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour .
