- In a large bowl, mix the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, baking soda, raisins and salt to make the dry mix.
- Lightly whisk the eggs in a cup. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the egg, then pour the rest into a separate bowl and add the buttermilk and melted butter (not hot) to make the wet mix.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir until a sticky dough forms, without overmixing. Shape it into a rough round loaf and place it on the prepared sheet.
