Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda 1 tablespoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons white sugar ½ cup butter, cut into pieces 1 cup raisins ½ cup currants 2 teaspoons caraway seed (Optional) ¾ cup milk 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets. Stir flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl until evenly blended. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins, currants, and caraway seeds; make a well in the center and pour in the milk and vinegar. Stir with a spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened. Turn the dough out onto a well floured work surface, and knead gently 8 to 10 times. Divide the dough into two balls, and place onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and bake until the top of the bread is golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Cook’s Note You can use buttermilk instead of milk and vinegar. I Made It Print 242 home cooks made it!
