Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a small cookie sheet.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter with a fork (or with your fingers) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins and buttermilk until the dough is evenly moistened.
Step 3

Step 4
Bake 30-40 minutes, or until dough is just cooked through and the top is a light golden brown.
