There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a tray of golden, domed muffins out of the oven, and these soda bread muffins deliver that cozy, old-fashioned comfort in individual-sized form. The whole recipe comes together with pantry staples — flour, buttermilk, egg, and a little melted butter — so there is nothing complicated standing between you and a warm batch. Baking soda and baking powder do all the leavening work, which means no yeast, no waiting, and no fuss. The batter is intentionally thick and shaggy, so resist the urge to overmix; a few streaks of flour going into the oven is exactly right. Optional raisins add a gentle sweetness, while caraway seeds bring that classic, slightly earthy note that makes soda bread taste so distinctly itself. These are completely free of any meat or animal-based savory additions, relying instead on simple dairy and pantry ingredients for all their richness and flavor. Serve them warm straight from the rack, and do not be surprised if they disappear before they have a chance to cool.
