Ok, I don't like raisins. That said, have to post as this was a recipe from my grandmother beloved by all the family (except me). Times and yield approximate.
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sour milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
5 cups flour, plus more
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup water
2 cups raisins
Directions:
1. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the milk, eggs, baking soda and baking powder. Gradually mix in the flour so it will easily roll out. Roll about 1/4 thick, cut out with glass dipped in flour to about 2 circles.
2. For the raisin filling, place the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan and stir in the water and raisins. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Cool.
3. Place 1 t raisin filling on top of each dough circle. Cover each with another dough circle. Press edges together with fork tines dipped in flour.
4. Bake in a 350°F oven until lightly browned.
