2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 heaping tablespoons shortening
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 eggs

1 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon caraway seeds (optional)
Topping
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add raisins,shortening,eggs and buttermilk and caraway seeds. Knead with hands. Dough will be very heavy.
