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. Afn17:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Squeeze grated potatoes as dry as possible in a tea towel.
In a bowl, combine the potatoes, flour, and salt. Stir in the milk gradually, using enough to make the mixture hold together.
Let the mixture stand 1 hour.
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.
Cook over medium heat until the underside is set and golden brown.
Slide the pancake onto a plate and invert it back into the pan.
Let the other side brown.
Serve the pancake straight from the pan with brown sugar and melted butter.
Regarding the possibility of the word boxty having had its origin in arán bocht tí, it should be pointed out that this phrase – if it has ever existed other than as some kind of folk etymological back-formation – does not mean "poor-house bread" (i.e. bread of the poorhouse) – that would be arán an tí bochta – but something like "house poor-bread". -- Picapica (talk) 18:23, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
