Irish soda bread is traditionally made in a loaf shape, but these muffins have the same terrific flavor with buttermilk, caraway seeds and currants. They are easy to make and delicious served warm. —Lorraine Ballsieper, Deep River, Connecticut

I also skipped the caraway seeds. I used poppy seeds. excellent!

These are good muffins. To enhance the flavor, sometimes I add 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/8 tsp. cloves and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg to the flour mixture (but they are good without the extra spices). I also make a cinnamon sugar mixture to sprinkle on the top of the muffins before baking. We don't like caraway seeds, so I leave these out. If my raisins are a little dried out, I plump them first by soaking them in hot water for a few minutes and then drain them well before adding to the batter. These muffins keep well at room temperature so they are good for mailing to family and friends.

I have a family recipe I've used for years, but was in a hurry and tried these. I don't put in the caraway seeds, I add a bit more sugar, use egg whites instead of the egg, and use low fat buttermilk. I soak the raisins in hot water for a few minutes, to plump them up. I drain them and pat dry with paper towels before putting them in the batter.

Great!
