Gluten Free Irish Inspired Soda Bread Buns

Enjoy these delicious treats warm from the oven, their wondefull simple goodness will satisfy the wee bit of Irish soul in everyone.

Serves: 12 rolls.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sorghum flour.
• 1/2 cup almond flour.
• 1/2 cup potato starch (not potato flour).
• 1/2 cup brown sugar. 
• 1 teaspoon baking powder.
• 1 teaspoon baking soda.
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum.
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt.
• 2 large organic free-range eggs, beaten.
• 1/3 cup oil.
• 1/2 cup non-dairy milk. 
• 1 tablespoon Gluten Free Mayonnaise.
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
• 1 cup organic raisins or currants.

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 375º. Grease a 12-muffin pan, or line with paper liners. 
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sorghum flour, almond flour, potato starch, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and sea salt.
• Add in the eggs, oil, non-dairy milk, Vegenaise and almond extract. Beat until you achieve a smooth, stretchy batter- about two minutes. 
• Stir in the raisins (or currants) by hand. 
• Spoon the batter into twelve muffin cups. Smooth out tops with a quick swirl, using two wet fingers. 
• Bake in the center of a hot oven for 22 minutes until the tops are domed and golden, and firm to a light touch. 
• Serve warm. 
• Soda style breads and rolls are always best fresh baked. Wrap, bag and freeze leftovers for preserving optimum texture.

Tips:

• If you want to add some extra delicious flavour try adding in a teaspoon or two of caraway seeds.
• Use dairy milk if you prefer.
• These delicious buns pair beautifully with soup, chili, stew and old fashioned roasted dinners. 
• Enjoy for breakfast and tea time, served warm with butter and jam.
