Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
