1 Large Egg

4 1/4 Cups all lpurpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp.  Salt

8 Tablespoong unsalted butter, cold and  cubed

1 Cup Raisins

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

Whisk the egg and buttermilk together and set aside.  Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt together.  Add the butter and mix together until the butter is pea-sized crumbs, stir in the raisings.  Pour in the buttermilk-egg mixture and mix until too stiff to stir.  Pour the crumbling dough onto a floured surfaced and try to work into a ball.

Transfer the dough on the baking sheet or pan that are using and using a very sharp knife, score an X on the top.  Cook for about 45 minutes, until the bread is golden brown. If it starts turning dark too soon, covered with a folded aluminum paper.
