8 ounces all-purpose flour
1 pint milk

Fry the onions and mushrooms until soft, add the whiskey (careful not to burn your eyebrows off), add the cream, cracked pepper and season with salt, to taste. Reduce a little then return the fillets to the pan continue cooking until the sauce thickened to the right consistency.
  • Gaelic boxty:

Another recipe found on the Taste of Home website while searching for Irish recipes for our Culinary Quest. I posted this as written, but feel free to use whatever type of milk (whole, 2%, skim) and I use butter or oil instead of the cooking spray in my cooking, but obviously will change the calories/fat etc.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium potato, peeled and grated
1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup mashed potato (made with fat-free milk)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
FILLING:
2 bacon strips, chopped
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium leek (white portion only), chopped
1/4 cup half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup fat-free milk
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Place grated potato in a colander to drain; squeeze to remove excess liquid. Pat dry. In a large bowl, combine the grated potato, milk, flour, mashed potato, salt and pepper. Let stand for 20 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Add mushrooms and leek; cook until tender. Gradually add cream. Whisk together flour and milk; add to pan. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the chicken, salt and pepper; heat through. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
  • 3. Coat another large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Pour 3/4 cup batter into center of skillet; lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 2-3 minutes longer. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, coating skillet with cooking spray as needed.
  • 4. Spoon filling onto pancakes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your boxty.
  • Be sure to grate the potatoes finely: This will help them cook evenly and create a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the boxty tough.
  • Cook the boxty over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the boxty immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.
