Step 1

Heat oven to 450. Line a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gently pour in the buttermilk. Using a wooden spoon start to mix the ingredients to combine. Using floured hands gently continue to mix until the dough comes together Add the additional buttermilk if needed to hold the dough together, the dough should be soft. Mix in the raisins.
