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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or cast iron skillet.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine Bisquick mix, sugar, and baking soda.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two knives, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; the dough will be sticky.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the raisins and caraway seeds for added flavor.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve with butter or jam. Enjoy!
