Light, tasty, crunchy, and quick - who could ask for more? Only 30 minutes from start to eight cooked round miniature irish soda breads (which Deb calls scones). Follow Deb's advice on the very minimal mixing and kneading. I've made lots of soda bread, but never had it come out so light and tasty.

I used the caraway seeds and raisins. I made my own buttermilk and cake flour. Loved by all in my house (including the dog, who happily cleaned up the bits of dough that hit the floor).

I especially liked using my instant read thermometer to judge done-ness. Mine hit 170˚F in 15 minutes, and without that assurance that they were done, I'd surely have over-cooked them.
