Dairy-Free Irish Soda Bread Bites

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. 2In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of Gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of Baking soda, and 1/2 tsp of Salt. Whisk them together until they are evenly mixed.
3. 3In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the 1 cup of Dairy-free milk and 1 tsp of Lemon juice. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 1 minute; it will curdle slightly, mimicking buttermilk.
4. 4Pour the milk and lemon juice mixture into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the 1/4 cup of Raisins. Mix with a spoon or spatula until the ingredients are just combined into a shaggy dough; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
5. 5Using a tablespoon or small spoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2.54 cm (2.5 cm) of space between each bite. You should get approximately 12-15 bites.
6. 6Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The soda bread bites are done when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped gently on the bottom.
7. 7Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the Irish Soda Bread Bites cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool slightly more. This allows them to set and makes them easier to handle.
