Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal (not coarse)
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups well-shaken buttermilk
1/2 cup golden raisins, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter loaf pans and dust with flour, knocking out excess.
