oven to 350*. Grease well a 2 qt round casserole (I've used a cookie
sheet). In lg bowl w/ fork mix flour and next 4 ingredients. w/ pastry
blender or 2 knives cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. stir in raisins and caraway seed. In small bowl w/ fork beat
eggs slightly; remove 1T and reserve. Stir buttermilk into remaining
egg. Stire into flour mixture just until flour is mo istened (dough
will be sticky - often far to sticky.. I'd go easy on the milk.. not
add it all at once just gradually until it's a sticky dough) turn dough
onto well floured surface. w/ floured hands, knead about 10 strokes to
mix thoroughly. Shape dough into ball. w/ sharp knife cut a 4 inch
cross about 1/4 inch deep. Brush dough with reserved egg. Bake about 1
hr 20 min. or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in casserole on
wire rack 10 min. remove from casserole and cool completely on rack.
