Instructions
Make the dough
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F / Gas mark 4). Grease and flour a baking sheet. Beat butter and eggs until well combined. Add flour, baking powder, walnut powder, and cornmeal, stirring. Then add raisins and chopped walnuts, kneading into a smooth batter.
First bake
Divide the dough into two portions, shape each into a flat loaf about 25 cm long and 5 cm wide on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until light golden and dry.
Second bake
Remove to a cutting board, cut into 0.5-1 cm thick slices with a serrated knife. Arrange slices on baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, then flip and bake another 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
Storage
Store in an airtight container to keep for several weeks.
