IRISH SODA BREAD MUFFINS



Irish Soda Bread Muffins image

This recipe was featured in an email today from the www.kingarthurflour.com website: "So who says Irish soda bread HAS to be made in a round or loaf pan? These coffee-break-sized muffins, bursting with tiny sweet currants and a hint (or a hit, your choice) of caraway, are the perfect offering for St. Patrick's Day -- particularly if you're looking to celebrate with something other than corned beef and cabbage! This is not at all a traditional Irish soda bread, which would be simply made with whole-wheat flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk. Thoroughly Americanized, these muffins have traveled a long, long way from their Irish origin -- as have most of us Irish-Americans."

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups currants, first choice (or raisins)
1/2-2 teaspoon caraway seed, to taste
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk (or yogurt or sour cream)
6 tablespoons butter, melted (or 1/3 cup vegetable oil)
sparkling white sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F Lightly grease a standard muffin pan; or line with papers, and grease the papers.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, currants or raisins, and caraway seeds.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk (or equivalent) and melted butter (or equivalent).
  • Quickly and gently combine the dry and wet ingredients; honestly, this won't take more than a few stirs with a bowl scraper or large spoon. As soon as everything is evenly moistened, quit; further stirring will cause the muffins to be tough.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling the cups about 3/4 full; the stiff batter will look mounded in the cups. Sprinkle on the sparkling sugar.
  • Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Tip the muffins in the pan, so their bottoms don't get soggy. Remove them from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a rack to cool. Serve them plain, or with butter and/or jam.

Currants, caraway seeds, and orange zest dot these these Irish soda bread inspired muffins. A dusting of coarse sugar along the top gives them an irresistibly sweet crunch.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute more all-purpose flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup currants or raisins (I used half regular raisins and half golden raisins)
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 large egg
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla yogurt is fine too)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons orange zest
Demerara or other coarse sugar for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup, standard-size muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, currants/raisins, and caraway seeds.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, vegetable oil, and orange zest.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and gently combine with a large spoon, mixing just until the batter comes together. The batter will be very thick.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, dividing evenly between the 12 cups. I used an ice cream scoop which made quick work of it.
  • Sprinkle coarse sugar over the top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and tip each muffin in their pan to help the steam escape and avoid soggy bottoms. Let cool for 5 minutes, then move the muffins to a rack to finish cooling enough to serve.
  • Serve with butter and/or jam.

IRISH SODA BREAD (MUFFINS)



Irish Soda Bread (Muffins) image

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.

IRISH SODA BREAD MUFFINS



Irish Soda Bread Muffins image

Take what's best about Irish Soda Bread and turn it into fluffy delicious take-anywhere muffins! Irish Soda Bread Muffins, ay?Yeah, I've never made nor have I ever even eaten soda bread before. I know. You're looking at your screen like I'm an alien with three heads. A friend asked me for a handheld version, one she could share. This set off a week+ long research project, a multi-site-read-up event as I'm wont to do. Ya know, first discovering what soda bread...

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons (85 g) butter, melted
2 1/4 cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons (8 g) baking powder
1/4 teaspoons (1.5 g) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (3 g) fine sea salt
1/3 cup (66 g) granulated sugar
3/4 cups (107 g) currants (or raisins, or dried fruit of choice)
1/2 to 2 teaspoons (2-7 g) caraway seeds (to taste)
1 large egg
1 cup (227 ml) buttermilk (or yogurt)
extra sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 400° F (200° C). Using baking liners, line a 12 well muffin tin.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, currants, and caraway seeds if using into a larger bowl and blend lightly.
  • In the butter bowl, add the egg and buttermilk, whisking to break up larger butter clumps.
  • Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and using a large non-stick spatula or implement of choice, very gently fold everything together until the dry is barely moist. Over mixing will result in heavy, tough muffins so avoid the urge.
  • Split the thick batter between the 12 muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with sugar if desired.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean (a few crumbs are ok) from a center muffin.
  • Remove the tin from the oven and set on a rack. Carefully tip the muffins on an angle so the bottoms are up, keeping them from turning soggy. Let cool for five minutes then remove the muffins to a cooling rack to cool and serve.
