Boxty (Irish Griddle Cakes)

By Alden Smith


Being of the Irish               just enough                   
persuasion, I offer this great   milk to make a batter that    
recipe for Boxty. Boxty is a    will drop from a spoon. Drop  
traditional Irish dish, and      by                            
has been around for many a       tablespoonfuls onto a hot     
year. I especially like this    griddle or frying pan. Cook   
dish with butter and a dollop    over a moderate               
of maple syrup for my            heat for 3-4 minutes on each  
breakfast. I do not have the    side. Serve with a tart apple
usual required nutritional       sauce: or

thinking, I can live without     with fried bacon, fried       
it to just have the pleasure     sausage, fried eggs,          
of enjoying this fine old        fried black pudding, fried    
traditional side dish.           bread, fried soda bread.
