Soda Bread with Raisins

4 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1 cup raisins dark seedless
2 cups buttermilk
butter
sugar

Heat oven to 350F.Grease a large cast-iron skillet or baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix 4 C. flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and caraway seeds. Add raisins, making sure they are separated. Add buttermilk to a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a dough. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of remaining flour on a board. Turn out dough and knead lightly for about 5 minutes, working in the flour from the board and forming dough into a smooth, round loaf about 8 inches in diameter. Press loaf evenly into pan and
cut a cross 1/2 inch deep in the top. Bake 1hour and 15 minutes,
or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Put loaf on wire rack, rub top with butter, and sprinkle with sugar.
