1 pkg. dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water
1 c. raisins
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk
3 3/4 c. flour
2 beaten eggs

Soften yeast in warm water. Combine raisins, butter, sugar, salt and hot milk. Stir and cool to lukewarm. Stir in 1 1/2 cup flour, beat well. Add yeast and eggs, mix well. Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out on floured board. Kneed until smooth (10 minutes). Let rise until doubled. Punch down, divide in half, round each into a ball. Cover, let rise for 10 minutes. Shape into loaves, cover and let almost double. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Put foil over top if browning too fast, if necessary.
