I have a recipe too that I make every year. Actually I just made it last night for my FMIL. My whole family loves it that you would think we were Irish.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp double acting baking powder
5 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup buttermilk


Directions

In small bowl, pour boiling water over raisins, let stand 5 minutes. In large bowl, sift flour, soda, baking powder and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Drain raisins, stir into flour mixture. Add buttermilk all at once. Stir vigorously with fork.

Shape into ball. Place on greased 8 inch pie plate. Bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees, lower heat to 375 degrees and bake for 30 more minutes, or until knife comes out clean.

Remove from pie plate. Cool 1 hour. Cut into wedges or slices. Makes 10 large servings.
