| 1. | 1. Adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk flours, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Work the softened butter into the dry ingredients with a fork, pastry cutter, or fingertips until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. |
| 2. | 2. Add buttermilk, egg, and raisins, and stir with a fork until the dough comes together. Turn out onto a flour-coated work surface; knead until the dough becomes cohesive and bumpy, 12 to 14 turns. (Do not knead until the dough is smooth, or the bread will be tough.) |
| 3. | 3. Pat the dough into a round ball about 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches high. Place it on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet or in a cast-iron skillet. Cut a cross into the top. |
| 4. | 4. Bake until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, or the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes, covering bread with aluminum foil if it is browning too much. Remove from oven and brush with some melted butter; cool to room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes |
