SERVES:
Makes 1 loaf

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 cup cornmeal

* 1 cup whole wheat flour

* 1 cup all-purpose flour

* 1 tsp baking soda

* 1 tsp kosher salt (or 1/2 tsp table salt)

* 1/3 cup golden raisins

* 1 cup milk

* 1/2 cup molasses

PROCEDURE:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and get a kettle of water going on the stove top so that the water is nice and hot when you add it to the water bath pan in the oven.

Use a large mixing bowl to combine 1 cup of cornmeal with 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of white flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt and 1/3 cup golden raisins and mix it up.

For the wet ingredients, use a 2 cup measure to combine 1 cup of milk with 1/2 cup molasses and use a fork to mix it up. Add that mixture to the dry ingredients and fold it together until it is just combined.

Add the batter to a 9x5-inch buttered loaf pan, cover that with a tight seal of aluminum foil and then place that pan into a larger 9x13-inch baking pan.

Pull the center rack of the preheated oven out a little bit and place both pans on that and then add enough of the hot water to the larger pan to come half way up the loaf pan and carefully push the rack back into the oven and close the door.

It will take somewhere between 45 minutes and 1 hour to bake, just use a toothpick test to check it for doneness.

Carefully take it out of the water bath, let it cool down a bit then turn it out of the pan and slice it and serve it while it's still nice and warm with butter or even cream cheese.

Great with baked beans for a real New England treat!
