INGREDIENTS

  • Fruits

    • 1 cup raisins
    • 1 cup dried currants

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 4 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 1 ¾ cups buttermilk

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet.

2

Pour hot water over raisins and currants in a bowl and let soak. Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl until well combined; whisk in buttermilk.

3

Drain raisins and currants and pat dry with paper towels; fold into dough. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead gently until it holds its shape; if dough is too sticky, knead in more flour.

4

Form into a round and place into prepared cast iron skillet. Use a sharp knife to cut a cross into the top of the loaf.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a slender knife inserted into the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.
