4 cups flour
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine dry ingredients. Add butter and buttermilk, stir well.
Add raisins and caraway seeds, stir well.
Bake in a pre-greased cast iron skillet about 35 minutes. Check with toothpick for doneness at approximately 30 minutes. It will come out clean when bread is done.
Poster's Notes:
OPTIONAL: Sprinkle sugar on top after taking bread out of oven.
I think I'd try about an 8"x8" or 9"x9" pan. The 9"x13" seems too big. Or, you can stop by and borrow my cast iron pan--I rarely use it! I just measured the cast iron pan. It is 10" across. Of course the sides slope inwards a lot.
My mom used to cook quite a bit in cast iron. It's actually very healthy, because some of the iron leaches into the food, and acts as a mineral supplement. However, Teflon is so much easier, so I rarely use my cast iron.
