Yummy Irish Soda Muffins


Ooh, we just found a new recipe we love! They are good with or without the raisins. To make a dozen you will need to double this recipe.


Enjoy!



Irish Soda Muffins


From Taste of Home

"Who says muffins have to be boring? These little gems are always a hit.," says Camille Wisniewski of Jackson, New Jersey. "I subsitute blueberries when they are in season for the raisins."


INGREDIENTS
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons beaten egg (2 eggs if doubling)
1/3 cup raisins


SERVINGS 6

DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk the sour cream, oil and egg; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in raisins.
Fill six greased or paper-lined muffin cups half full. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 6 muffins.

HI Leonie-

I am not sure you can leave it out. There really isn't very much- are you doing that for health reasons? When I make my pumpkin bread, it calls for a CUP of oil! Yikes. So I put in 2/3 C apple sauce and 1/3 C oil which is not too bad as it makes 2 big loaves.

What do you think?

Beate, why do you have 'rain on the brain'? lol lol
I think you all will like them though they are not as healthy as the whole grain things you enjoy. Oh well, almost more of a dessert breadfast... :) Well not that bad!

"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."
