Irish Soda Bread (Muffins) Recipe
When my husbands Grandma kept throwing her teeth in the trash at the nursing home, they eventually stopped letting her keep them in her room (trust me, this was a good decision!!) Unfortunately, this also meant that it was harder for her to eat certain food and crusty breads were in that category. So I set out to make an Irish Soda Bread she could easily eat. So here it is, my Irish Soda Bread muffins! Nothing like traditional Irish Soda Bread, they are a soft buttery muffin with raisins. Very easy for my senior citizen friends at the nursing home to eat.
Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups raisins
- 1 1/3 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/3 cups butter, softened (I use 2 sticks and 5 Tablespoons off a third stick)
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 350. Put cupcake wrappers/ liners in a muffin pan.
- Combine all the ingredients except the raisins, mix with an electric mixer till well blended.
- Stir in the raisins by hand.
- Spoon the batter into muffin pan lined with cupcake wrappers. The batter is thick, I fill the cups almost full.
- Bake for 25- 30 minute (until a toothpick comes out clean).
- Allow to cool, serve with softened butter or margarine . Enjoy!
