Port Washington Inn

**we keep a pint jar of raisins soaking in whiskey so they are always ready to make this favorite

In a bowl mix together the dry ingredients:

2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar (we use turbinado sugar exclusively)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Cut 1/4 cup hard butter into the dry mixture.
**Add 1/4 cup raisins which have been soaked in whiskey
1 teaspoon of caraway seed is optional

Break one egg into a glass measuring cup and add enough buttermilk to equal 3/4 cup; mix together.
Add this egg/buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix only until blended.

Lightly butter two 6" iron skillets and divide the dough equally between them.
Alternatively, you can create two 6" rounds on a greased baking sheet.
Sprinkle with a small amount of sugar and bake at 375 until nicely browned, about 30 minutes.

Cool slightly and cut into 6 equal wedges.

This bread is excellent on its own, with butter, cream cheese, or slightly sweetened mascarpone cheese.
