Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Bisquick mix
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 quarters cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or cast iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Bisquick mix, sugar, and baking soda.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two knives, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; the dough will be sticky.
If desired, fold in the raisins and caraway seeds for added flavor.
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and use floured hands to gently shape it into a round. Score a shallow “X” on top of the dough using a sharp knife.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve with butter or jam. Enjoy!
