Steps

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 175C/350F (fan). Take a baking sheet and sprinkle with a small handful of flour

2. Step 2

   In a large bowl, combing the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, baking soda, raisins, and salt. Give everything a mix. This is your dry mix.

3. Step 3

   Break the eggs into a cup and whisk gently with a fork for a few seconds. Pour all but 1 tbsp. of the egg into a separate bowl. Add in the buttermilk and melted butter and mix. This is your wet mix.

4. Step 4

   Pour your wet mix into your dry mix and stir until you get a nice sticky dough. Don't overmix or you'll end up with tough bread. If you don't mind getting a bit sticky, you can do this stage with your hands. Form the dough into a rough cob or ball shape and place on your prepared baking sheet.

5. Step 5

   Using a sharp knife, make a large cross in the middle - cutting about 1 inch into the bread. Using a pastry brush, give the whole loaf a egg wash using the reserved egg. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 40-45 minutes until the bread looks golden.

6. Step 6

   Take out of the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes before cutting up and serving with butter, or toasting and serving with butter.
