An old poem about this fried bread says: Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan, if you can't make boxty, you'll never get a man. Serve with a tart apple sauce: or as part of an Ulster Fry, with fried bacon, fried sausage, fried eggs, fried black pudding, fried bread, fried soda bread. Best fried in baking drippings. Ingredients:
1/2 lb raw potatoes |
1/2 lb mashed potatoes |
1/2 lb plain flour |
1 tablespoon milk, more as needed |
1 egg |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Grate raw potatoes and mix with the cooked mashed potatoes.
2. Add salt, pepper and flour.
3. Beat egg and add to mixture with just enough milk to make a batter that will drop from a spoon.
4. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a hot griddle or frying pan.
5. Cook over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.
