Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 435ðF (225ðC). Grease and flour a small cake tin or round baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure a light texture.
  3. Add the brown sugar to the dry ingredients. Using two spatulas or a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and enough milk to form a soft, pliable dough. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the seedless raisins evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Press the dough firmly and evenly into the prepared cake tin.
  7. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the dough.
  8. Mix the 2 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered top.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
