Directions
Mix cornmeal and flours in a large bowl with the baking soda, salt, and raisins.
Beat together liquids in a separate bowl.
Vigorously blend liquids into dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, then pour into two well-greased or buttered one-pound coffee cans.
Butter two 6 inch squares of foil and tie around the tops of the coffee cans with string.
Place on a rack in a closely covered pot, pour 2 inch of water into the pot, and weight down the cover for a tight seal and steam for three hours.
Do not open the pot until at least two hours have passed.
Let cool 20 minutes before unmolding.
