Chop raisins finely in food processor with 1/4 cup flour. Sift 2 cups
flour with soda, cream of tartar, and spices. Cream butter with sugar. Add
dry ingredients alternately with milk until well blended. Stir in raisins
and enough additional flour, up to 3/4 cup, to make a stiff dough. Shape
into two logs, about 1-1/2" diameter. Chill overnight or freeze.
When ready to make, slice to desired thickness and bake at 375-400
degrees until done (15-20 minutes). See NOTES.
