Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup raisins

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 0.5 cup sugar.

  2. 2

    Melt 4 tbsp butter. Stir in 0.75 cup milk and 0.5 cup raisins. Add to dry ingredients and mix until just combined—batter will be lumpy.

  3. 3

    Pour batter into pan. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if you have them. Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

  4. 4

    Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
