These fluffy Irish soda bread biscuit cups are easy to make, perfect for breakfast or brunch, and bring a tender, buttery twist to traditional soda bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease your muffin tin or biscuit cups pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, salt, and caraway seeds if using.
  3. Add cold diced butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and beaten egg. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in fresh chives or parsley if using.
  6. Divide the dough into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full (makes 10-12 biscuit cups).
  7. Lightly score a shallow “X” on top of each biscuit cup with a sharp knife.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the biscuit cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for flaky layers. Do not overmix the dough to maintain fluffiness. Score the tops to ensure even baking. Tent with foil if tops brown too quickly.
