Quick and easy Irish soda bread scones packed with sweet raisins and nutty caraway seeds, perfect for a cozy breakfast or casual brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
  • 3/4 cup (110 g) raisins
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, and caraway seeds.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Mix in the raisins, coating them well with flour.
  5. Gradually pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just starts to come together. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 7-inch (18 cm) round about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick. Do not knead.
  7. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them to the baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Transfer scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky texture. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. If scones spread too much, chill dough for 10 minutes before shaping. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast.
