Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°

Step 2

Warm a 9 in cast iron skillet in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and add butter, swirling to coat the bottom and sides

Step 3

Combine flour, currents, raisins, Caraway seeds, baking soda and salt in a large bowl

Step 4

Gradually add buttermilk, stirring just until the flour is fully incorporated. Do not over mix. The dough should be sticky and a little shaggy

Step 5

Transfer the dough to the prepared pan using a spatula to spread evenly. It is okay if it doesn't reach all the way to the sides. Use a sharp knife to score a deep X in the top of the loaf

Step 6

Bake until cooked through and golden brown, about 40 minutes

Step 7

Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing
