Easy Mini Irish Soda Bread

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter

  cubed
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 to 1 ¼ cups buttermilk

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  Set aside.
• 2 In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda,
  and salt. Cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. You
  can use your fingers or a pastry cutter. Add the raisins and then make a well in
  the center.
• 3 Pour 1 cup of buttermilk into the well in the center of the flour mixture. Using
  a fork or your hands, combine the ingredients just until the dough begins to
  come together. Add additional buttermilk if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• 4 Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead until it fully comes
  together.
• 5 Divide the dough into 9 mounds of about ½ cup each. Transfer the dough to the
  parchment-lined baking sheet, cut a cross in the top, and brush each a drizzle
  of buttermilk.
• 6 Bake until slightly risen and golden brown; 20 to 22 minutes. For me, I can't
  imagine Irish Soda Bread without a drizzle of the finest honey I can find. It's
  such a treat! Serve warm or room temperature. And… they freeze exceptionally
  well too.
