Ingredients

For Brushing On Loaf

  • 1 Tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 Tablespoon buttermilk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the flour resembles pea-sized crumbs.
  4.  Stir in the currants & raisins that have been coated with gluten-free flour.
  5. In a measuring cup mix together with a fork, the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest. 
  6. Switch to using your hands to mix the batter together to form a wet dough that can be shaped into a round loaf. Dough will be very sticky. Place onto parchment-lined baking pan & form a loaf, see pictures below.
  7. In a separate bowl combine the 1 Tablespoon of melted butter and 1 Tablespoon of buttermilk. With a pastry brush, brush the loaf with butter/buttermilk mixture.
  8. Use a sharp knife to cut a small X on the top of the loaf.
  9. Bake at 375° for 50 – 55 minutes, or until golden brown and no wet batter is visible in the x slit.
  10. Cool in pan for 10 minutes then move to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing. (Cuts better when cooled)
