Recipe Introduction


This recipe takes under 5 minutes to prepare. Turning this traditional bread into muffins shortens baking time too. Whole wheat flour adds wholesome fiber and buttermilk provides low calorie protein and an interesting flavor.



List of Ingredients




2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup currants
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter -- softened
1 1/2 tablespoons caraway seed
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare (spray or oil) standard (2 3/4-inch diameter; 1/3 cup capacity) muffin tins.*

Use the metal blade in food processor to mix all ingredients except the eggs and buttermilk, about 5 seconds.

With the machine running, add the eggs and buttermilk through the small feed tube. Mix 10 seconds. Do not overmix. Fill the muffin tins 3/4 full with batter.

Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.

*The batter works equally well in bread form; just bake in a high, 9-inch round cake pan for about 55 minutes.
