Irish Soda Muffins are a quick treat just right for St. Patrick's Day. Enjoy them for breakfast or tea!
You'll need...
2¼ cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
¼ cup sour cream (can substitute Greek yogurt)
¾ cup milk (note: you can also replace the milk and sour cream with 1 cup of buttermilk)
1 egg
4 Tbsp melted butter
a little sugar for sprinkling
Here's what to do...
Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
Whisk together sour cream and milk.
In a separate bowl, combine egg, milk/sour cream and melted butter.
Add flour mixture to milk mixture and stir until barely mixed. Muffins are best when they are tender, so they need to be mixed with a light hand. Batter will be fairly thick.
Spoon muffin batter into a muffin tin lined with papers.
Sprinkle a bit of sugar on the top of each muffin.
Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
Remove muffins from tin and let them cool on a rack.
Perfect with eggs for a St. Paddy's Day breakfast, or with tea for an afternoon treat.
