Ingredients

• 1 cup buttermilk , divided
• 0.5 cups butter , melted - divided
• 1.5 cups golden raisins
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 egg

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
2. 2 Spoon 1 tablespoon buttermilk into a small bowl; pour remaining buttermilk into a medium bowl.
3. 3 Stir 1 tablespoon melted butter into buttermilk in the small bowl until combined. Stir golden raisins into buttermilk in the medium bowl. Let both bowls sit until needed.
4. 4 Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in remaining melted butter; stir until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg and mix until thoroughly combined.
5. 5 Add buttermilk-raisin mixture to flour mixture; shape into a ball. Transfer dough to the prepared pie dish and lightly pat around the edges so the top is slightly domed. Slice the top in a 1/4-inch deep crisscross with a sharp knife. Brush buttermilk-butter mixture over loaf until thoroughly coated, getting mixture into all crevices.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour.
