Unable to find sources for all info, other than my granny, but she doesn't count! Like most traditional crafts, there is no definitive way of making this dish. Any help, even a book containing a recipe, would be usefull. Afn 17:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I wanted to know for what meal boxty is served. I found some info at CD Kitchen.com, but I don't know how reliable that source is. http://cooking.cdkitchen.com/RealMealsInMinutes/233.html

[edit] Recipe

This came off the main article, it belongs in the wiki cookbook --Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 07:49, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled, grated (about 1 kg)
  • 1 1/3 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  1. Squeeze grated potatoes as dry as possible in a tea towel.
  2. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, flour, and salt. Stir in the milk gradually, using enough to make the mixture hold together.
  3. Let the mixture stand 1 hour.
  4. Heat a 23cm - 25cm heavy frying pan until very hot. Drop in the butter and let it melt. Pat the potato mixture into the pan with a spatula, distributing it evenly.
  5. Cook over medium heat until the underside is set and golden brown.
  6. Slide the pancake onto a plate and invert it back into the pan.
  7. Let the other side brown.
  8. Serve the pancake straight from the pan with brown sugar and melted butter.
