Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups milk

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except 1 tablespoon butter; mix just until moistened. It is important not to overwork this dough as it will only get tough. Shape into a round ball
  2. Place in a greased 9-inch round baking pan and bake for 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. After removing from the oven, brush the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  3. NOTE: This is best served right from the oven, but you can rewarm it in a 200 degree F oven for 10 minutes before serving, and yes, I suggest brushing the top with a bit more melted butter at that time
