Irish Soda Muffins

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray. Recommended to NOT use paper muffin cups.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. It’s OK to have small chunks of butter in the mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while stirring. Stir until just combined.
6. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups. It’s OK if this mixture is sticking above the muffin cups, it will add texture to each muffin.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake the muffins.
8. Remove from the oven and transfer the muffins to a serving platter. Serve immediately, while still warm. Enjoy!
9. Store leftovers in an airtight container once completely cooled.
