Irish Soda Bread Buns

Irish soda bread is a very different bread wherein the raising agents are baking soda and buttermilk. This is a no-fuss bread which can be made very easily and tastes great.


I made these like small cup cakes or buns so that we can eat one at a time and also I was bored of making the regular bread or cake. There are many variations available for this bread. As usual people add a lot of spices, tutti fruities, dried fruits, dried grapes etc.. I kept it simple and just added some badams. Same way instead of buttermilk you can probably add yogurt and little water also. Being summer I had a stock of butter milk making my job easier.
