Add the flour mixture, beating the mixture until it is just combined, and stir in the raisins and the walnuts. Spread the mixture in a buttered and floured 13- by 9-inch baking pan and bake it in the middle of a preheated 350F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a tester comes clean.
Let the mixture cool completely in the pan on a rack and cut it into 24 bars.
