1 cup rolled oats (not quick-cooking kind)
1 cup hot milk
2 large eggs, beaten
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, melted
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup seedless dark raisins
2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, as needed
2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a deep 1 1/2 quart casserole and set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats and mil, stir and let stand till softened, about 10 minutes. Add the eggs, butter, brown sugar, and raisins and stir till well blended. Sift 2 cups of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and cinnamon directly into the oat mixture and stir till well blended and smooth, adding more flour as necessary for a firm consistency.

3. Scrape the batter into the prepared casserole and back till a straw inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool slightly,then transfer toa wire rack to cool completely. To serve, cut into slices.
