Zuchinni bread taste wonderful, I have never figured out why they call it bread when it taste so much like cake! sometimes when there is a plentiful supply of zuchinni in the garden we make up loaves of zuchinni bread and freeze them, it taste really good in the winter time, and of course with a hot cup of coffee.
How about a blackberry cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. That is one of my fav desserts in the summer.
Janet, I luv lemon meringue pie. All this dessert is making me fat!
Here's a few recipes that I've picked up along the way
Slainte !
Draconis who's glad to be back
Irish Creme Liquor
1 1/2 cup Irish whiskey 2-3 tbsp boiling water 1 tbsp instant coffee 1 can Eagle brand condensed milk 3 egg yolks 1 tablespoon Hershey's chocolate 1 tablespoon vanilla
Blend well and refrigerate. Be aware that the fat and the liquor will want to separate, so before serving, you might want to run it all through the blender again. If a little thinner creme is desired, add a half pint of half-n-half or whole cream. If you don't feel comfortable with the raw egg yolks, then you may omit them.
4 cups all purpose or bread flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt to taste 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup white raisins 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Stir flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and raisins together. Separately, fork-blend eggs and buttermilk, then add to dry ingredients. Stir until sticky batter is formed. Scrape batter onto well floured surface and knead lightly. Shape batter into ball, then place in round non-stick casserole that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Mark a cross in the center, using a sharp knife. Bake uncovered in preheated 350 degree oven for about 1 1/4 hours.
2 cups sifted flour (SEE NOTE) 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup butter (room temp.) 2 eggs, at room temperature 1/3 to 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup dried currants or dried sweetened tart red cherries or cranberries or blueberries, or chopped dark or golden seedless raisins, or a combination Creme Fraiche or Devonshire cream Lemon curd (see recipe below) ________________________________________
Lemon Curd
4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup *fresh lemon juice* 4 egg yolks 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
In saucepan, combine all ingredients except lemon peel. Stirring with wooden spoon, cook over lowest heat, being careful not to let mixture boil or yolks curdle. Cook until mixture coats back of a spoon. Pour into small bowl and stir in lemon peel. Allow to cool. Good for spreading on scones, poundcake, muffins and biscuits. Makes 1/2 cup. * * * * * *
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender, cut in butter or shortening, until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Beat one whole egg and one egg yolk, reserving one egg white for brushing tops of scones. Add beaten egg mixture, cream as needed and currants, etc, if desired to dry ingredients to form a soft dough, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened (mixture will be lumpy). Do not overmix.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 to 6 times. Roll out or pat dough into a circle 1/2-inch thick. Beat remaining egg white slightly; brush top of dough circle with egg white and then sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar. Cut dough into 12 equal-size wedge-shaped pieces, using a floured knife. Or, cut dough with a lightly floured 2 to 2 1/2-inch diameter biscuit cutter. transfer scones to an ungreased baking sheet and arrange about 1 inch apart. Bake in a preheated hot oven (400 degrees F) for 15 minutes, or until done and golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature with butter or thick Creme Fraiche and Lemon Curd, if desired.
NOTE: Use a soft wheat flour, such as White Lily brand to achieve a better quality scone.

Add butter and rub it into the flour by scooping up handfuls of the mixture and rubbing it between the palms of your hands until pieces of butter are no longer visible. Add buttermilk to a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a dough. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of remaining flour on a board. Turn out dough and knead lightly for about 1 minute, working in the flour from the board and forming dough into a smooth, round loaf about 8 inches in diameter. Put loaf, smooth side up, in prepared pan and cut a deep cross in it, slicing three-fourths of the way through the dough. Bake 55-60 minutes, or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Turn out dough and knead lightly for about 5 minutes, working in the flour from the board and forming dough into a smooth, round loaf about 8 inches in diameter. Press loaf evenly into pan and cut a cross 1/2 inch deep in the top. Bake 1hour and 15 minutes, or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth down, and put the cakes into the center of the preheated oven. Reduce the heat to moderate (350F) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cakes are springy to the touch and shrinking slightly in the pans. Turn out and cool on a wire rack.

Hi Draconis, Thanks for all those recipes. Your soda bread is very similar to my biscuits I make. I use self rising flour instead of plain. Have you fixed these recipes yourself? If you have, maybe my friends here at Highlander and me will come to your house to eat! For dessert will you fix the Irish Cream Scones with Lemon Curd? That sounds yummy. I am going to have to try that recipe out.
A few of them I have tried. A friend and I are trying to collect old Celtic recipes ....the traditional, OLD recipes that Grams and Great Grams and before would have been cooking over the years and handing the recipes down mother to daughter.
Vicky and I are thinking if we can find enough of these recipes, especially old Celtic holiday foods, that we might create a cookbook (with proper credit due to any and all sources).
Not sure if this idea of ours will work, but we are going to give this one our best shot!
Maggie.........I'll let the folks here know when the Family is ready to put out an old fashioned Irish/Scots feast and I'm sure the invites will be forthcoming when we do

All those who wear the Kilt be they Scot or Irish are cut from the same cloth ( the Irish just could swim well and left the main island ..LOL ) The foods of these 2 cultures are almost interchangable any good Irish receit can also be found in Scotlands cooking and visa versa.

I really like scones, here is a scottish oat scone recipe. I don't have currents, so I didn't use them. I used raisens instead and that worked out well. Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup white sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup currants 1 egg, beaten 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/3 cup milk
Directions 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. 2 In a large bowl, mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and currants. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl, beat egg until frothy, and stir in melted butter and milk. Pour into the well, and mix to create a soft dough. Pat dough into two 1/2 inch thick circles. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Score 8 wedges into each circle of dough. 3 Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until risen and browned. Split wedges, and serve warm.
