Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoon margarine or butter
1/4 cup raisins (optional)
1 egg, white, slightly beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk
Nonstick cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Cut in margarine or butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins, if desired. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
In a small mixing bowl combine egg white and buttermilk. Add all at once to dry mixture. Stir just until moistened.

Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place bread dough on baking sheet. With a sharp knife, make 2 slashes in teh top to form an X.
