This bread is delicious warm or at room temperature.  If you have leftovers toast the next day!

I came across this recipe in the Dash section of the local newspaper.  I adapted this to my liking whereas I used dried cranberries instead of raisins and soured my milk. 

2 cups flour

5 T sugar, divided

 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp. salt

3/4tsp. baking soda

3 T cold butter, diced

1 cup buttermilk( I soured 1%  milk with 1 tsp. white vinegar)

2/3 cup raisins(optional cranberries)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Coat a 8 or 9 inch round pan( I used a bread pan) with  cooking spray.  In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 4 T sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.  Add butter, rubbing it into flour mixture with your fingers until a coarse meal forms.

Make a well in center of flour mixture.  Pour in buttermilk ad stir to blend.  Stir in raisins.  Flour our hands and shape dough into a ball.

Transfer dough to pan and flatten slightly(not all the way to edges of pan).  Sprinkle with remaining 1 T sugar.

Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of bread comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let sit for about 10 minutes; transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

***Note:  I substituted dried cranberries for the raisins.
