MINI IRISH SODA BREADS

Steps:

• Zest the orange into a small bowl or onto a bit of waxed paper and set it aside.
• In a small bowl, add the golden raisins and about 2 tablespoons of juice from the orange. Allow the raisins to soak in the orange juice for at least 30 minutes or longer.
• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add the coconut oil and the zest from the orange. Using your fingers, work the coconut oil into the flour.
• In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine the almond milk and vinegar. Drain the raisins and add them in as well.
• Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and using a spoon or spatula, mix until combined.
• Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop out a level amount of dough. Drop the dough into floured hands and create a ball. Repeat until you've made six balls. Using a small sharp knife, cut a cross into each bun, about a half inch down.
• Bake the loaves for about 15 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Check for doneness after 30 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf with the butter mixture while it bakes.
