Irish Soda Cookies |
Kids really like this recipe because it takes the taste of Irish Soda Bread and puts it into single serving bite size pieces. Oh, and they can help make them too!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup currants
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in currants.
Mix in beaten egg. Pour in milk and mix with a fork to make a soft dough (may need a little more milk).
On a floured surface, shape dough into a ball and knead lightly 5 or 6 times. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick and cut into squares and triangles with a knife (approximately 2 inches in diameter).
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until slightly browned.
