Okay okay, no leprechauns, but how cute would it be if Irish families had a version of \u201celf on the shelf\u201d, but with a leprechaun? \"small_3356693001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember when I said my family loves to get together for any reason to eat food? St. Patrick\u2019s Day is one of those reasons. We really only eat corned beef and cabbage around this time, unless we go out for dinner somewhere and they have “the best” Reuben. Anyone have any suggestions in the Twin Cities area? We have tried them all. My mom did make Reuben\u2019s this past summer to support my first attempt and absolute failure to make pumpernickel rye bread. In fact, it could still be on the lawn being used as a gnome house.
\nI said I would deliver a new twist on an old Irish recipe and so here it is\u2026<\/p>\n

Prosciutto and Irish cheddar soda bread biscuits<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yield: <\/strong> Makes 12 biscuits<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n\u00bd stick Kerry Gold butter
\n4 1\/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour + bench flour (extra flour)
\n1\/2 tsp. baking soda
\n1 tsp. Kosher salt
\n1 tsp. white pepper
\n2 cups buttermilk (substitution: 2 cups milk 2 T. lemon, let sit for 5 minutes)
\n\u00bd cup \u00bc\u201d diced prosciutto
\n\u00bd cup Irish cheddar (or your own preference)
\n1\/2 onion, diced
\n1 clove garlic, diced
\n1 shallot, diced
\n(I use the pre-diced package of onion, garlic and shallot from Trader Joe\u2019s)<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong>\"\"<\/a>
\nPreheat oven to 450 degrees.
\nGrease muffin tin with Kerry Gold butter.
\nIn a skillet, saut\u00e9 the diced prosciutto, onion, garlic and shallot, 5 minutes.
\nRemove from heat and cool on a paper towel to allow grease to soak up.
\nToss cheese in 1\/2 tsp. of flour and set aside.
\nCombine flour, baking soda, salt, white pepper and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl and mix with a wooden spoon or in an upright mixer with dough hook.
\nGently fold in the saut\u00e9 mix and cheese.
\nPlace onto a lightly floured surface.
\nPat the dough gently into a square shape.
\nFold the dough in half several times, bringing the dough in from the outside toward the middle, all the way around. Add a pinch of flour if necessary. Pat into a larger square. Do not knead the dough.
\nCut into 12 squares and shape each into a round disk and place it into the prepared muffin pan.
\nWith a sharp knife, make two large slashes on the top.
\nBake for 10 minutes.
\nReduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake until lightly brown, about another 10 minutes.
\nRemove from the oven, remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack before serving.\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n
