Ingredients:  
2 c. all-purpose flour
1/8 c. sugar
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 T. caraway seeds
2 T. unsalted butter (cold)

Directions:
Heat oven to 350º. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, and sprinkle a little flour on it.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and caraway seeds until well combined. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the raisins.

In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk, egg, and baking soda until well combined. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour and butter mixture, and stir until all the liquid is absorbed and the mixture begins to hold together. It should be like a biscuit dough.

Press the dough into a round shape, and place it on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and cream together. With a pastry brush, brush the egg wash over the loaf. With a sharp knife cut a cross about ½ inch deep into the top of the loaf. Bake about 70 minutes.
