RAISINS INGREDIENTS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 8-inch-diameter cake pan or cast-iron skillet with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in large bowl to blend. Add butter. Using fingertips, rub in until coarse meal forms. Make well in center of flour mixture. Add buttermilk. Gradually stir dry ingredients into milk to blend. Mix in raisins.
• Using floured hands, shape dough into ball. Transfer to prepared pan and flatten slightly (dough will not come to edges of pan). Sprinkle dough with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake bread until golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool bread in pan 10 minutes. Transfer to rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and grease a 20x30cm/8x12in baking tray.
• Put the butter, sugar and honey in a saucepan and heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Add the oats and nuts, fruit, ginger or coconut, if using, and mix well.
• Transfer the oat mixture to the tray and spread to about 2cm/¾in thick. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges, but still slightly soft in the middle. Leave to cool in the tin, then turn out and cut into squares.
