Maíre’s Potato Scones

“‘I knit them for the fishers,’ said Miss Lavinia. ‘Little enough we can do for the brave fellows going out on that dangerous sea to fetch us our dinners.’ “Buy my caller herrin’/They’re not brought here without much darin’,” she sang in a small, true soprano. ‘“Wives and mothers, maist despairin’/call them lives of men,”’ Dot joined in. ‘“Buy my caller herrin’/New drawn frae the firth.”’ ‘I like that song,’ said Maíre, who had come to report sandwiches made for lunch. ‘I’ll teach it to you,’ promised Miss Lavinia. Maíre made a little curtsey. ‘T’ank you, Missus. Now lunch is on the table and potato scones have to be eaton hot, or they’ll be spoiled completely,’ she said, ushuring Dot and Miss Lavinia into the parlour. Ruth, the visitor, Dot and Maíre, despite protestations that her place was in the kitchen, sat down to strong tea and potato scones loaded with butter.”

Ever since I re-read Dead Man’s Chest last month, I’ve fancied trying my hand many of the recipes Ruth makes in the book (as the housekeeper and her husband, the butler, have mysteriously vanished from the holiday home Phryne is renting in Queenscliff). But as the novel is set early in the year 1929 in Australia, they are recipes for Summertime and hot days. Except for Maíre’s Potato Scones, which I reckon can be eaten year-round, and perhaps especially on Saint Patrick’s Day! Have a good one, mates!

Ingredients (makes a dozen):

1 cup plain flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

a pinch of salt

1 heaped tablespoon cold unsalted butter

1 cup Simple Potato Mash

1/2 cup semi-skimmed milk

Preheat oven to 205°C/400°F. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Grease lightly with butter. Set aside

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Give a good stir.

Cut butter into small chunks, and rub into the flour mixture between your fingers, until it resembles coarse meal.

Stir in Potato Mash, and gradually pour in milk, until mixture comes together into a soft dough.

Flatten dough lightly with your fingers into a rough square. Using a small fluted cutter, cut out 12 scones and place onto prepared baking tray.

Place in the oven, and bake, at 205°C/400°F, for 7 to 10 minutes until a lovely golden colour. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Serve Maíre’s Potato Scones warm, with lashes of butter, jams, honey, and a pot of piping hot tea! (They go down a treat with a pint of golden ale, too!)

on a lunch break

#hermitcraft #goodtimeswithscar #my art #sketch #wanted to make the chair resemble one of them safari cars but i think because i went with the funky colors it doesn't read well...#it's still a bit more bulky and rough looking so it's fine #also. if i had a nickel for every time i drew a character eating cup noodles....... it's like. a comfort thing apparently #altho to be fair i was thinking of scar eating something more of a mashed potatoes than noodles 🤔#i associate cupped potatoes with train travel so that's why #btw really like how this one turned out. the pose the colors im quite proud of it

new cooking show where the judge panel is a bunch of neurodivergent people with the same ick food and the chefs are challenged with finding a way to prepare it that the most amount of judges like

bonus points if the winning recipes are put online somewhere

#Like everyone in the judge panel is united by their dislike of shrimp #And then like a dozen chefs try to make shrimp in a way some of them will like #I personally hate the texture of mashed potatoes so it would be interesting to see if there are any ways I could tolerate it #And I have a friend who cannot stand any form of potato but mashed #Both of us on the same panel and some poor chef has to find a way to prepare a potato that is not mashed but also mashed #Schrödingers potato #neurospicy #neurodivergent #neurodiverse stuff #neurodiversity #autism memes #autism spectrum disorder #autism #autism spectrum #actually autistic #actually neurodiverse

Rosemary and Parmesan Potato Soufflés (Vegetarian)

Leftover mashed potatoes quite magically transform into these beautiful, light as air and delightfully cheesy Rosemary and Parmesan Potato Soufflés. An excellent, elegant and quickly whipped-up dinner on a week night. Happy Thursday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

butter, softened

3/4 cup cold, leftover Potato Mash

1/4 cup double cream

1 fluffy sprig fresh rosemary

1/4 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 large egg yolks

Parmesan cheese

3 large egg whites

a pinch of salt

Lightly butter two ramekins. Set aside.

Spoon Potato Mash into a medium bowl. Gently stir in double cream, until smooth and well-combined.

Remove rosemary leaves from their sprig and finely chop them. Stir into the Potato Mash mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.

Preheat to 210°C/410°F.

Stir egg yolks into the Potato batter. Then, grate in about 1/2 cup Parmesan. Give a good stir to mix well.

In a medium bowl, beat egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks just form. Continue beating, a few minutes more, gradually increasing speed until stiff peaks just form.

Gently fold egg whites into Potato batter until no white streak remain. Fill prepared ramekins to three-quarters with the soufflé batter. Place them in the middle of the hot oven.

Bake, at 210°C/410°F, for 35 to 40 minutes, until well-risen and golden brown on top.

Serve Rosemary and Parmesan Potato Soufflés immediately, with dressed lettuce, and a glass of chilled white wine, like a New Zealand Pinot Gris or a South African Chenin Blanc.
