Quick Mini Irish Soda Bread

This quick soda bread can be ready in less than 1 hour. Generally served to dunk in stew or soup, this soda bread is a little sweet and is much better suited for breakfast time. Cut the sugar if you want it for supper. And best eaten on the day it is baked.
Ingredients:
2 scant cups flour
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup buttermilk (or 12 tbsps milk with 1 tbsp vinegar, sit 5 minutes)

Sift the dry ingredients together then add the buttermilk with a fork to this shaggy stage. Let rest 5 minutes.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 30 seconds. Form into a small loaf, place on a parchment lined baking sheet and score the top. At this point I was not very hopeful of baking an edible loaf : (
Place in a 375°F oven, and you could toss in 1 cup of ice cubes into the floor of the oven. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes.
But it turned out lovely!
And perfect with some raspberry jam!
