Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sifted flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon soda

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup oatmeal

1 egg, beaten

2 tablespoons melted butter

Water

Juice of 1 orange

1 cup raisins

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, sugar, salt and cinnamon.
  3. Stir in oatmeal, egg and shortening.
  4. Add enough water to the orange juice to make one cup of liquid and add to the flour mixture, blending well.
  5. Turn half of the batter into a greased 8 X 4 inch loaf pan.
  6. Sprinkle the raisins over the batter and cover with the remaining batter.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a toothpick put in the center comes out clean. You may need to cover the loaf with foil if the top is getting too dark so keep a watch on it. Cool.
