Heat oven to 450~. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In

blender or fork, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs;
stir in raisins. Stirring with fork, add enough buttermilk until mix leaves
sides of bowl and soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto floured surface;
knead lightly until no longer sticky. Roll out 1/2" thick; cut with 2-1/2"
round, flour covered cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet with sides
touching. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5
