Boxty

Cate <3's Note:

Found this in a sort of promotion for St. Patrick's day and it was actually really good. They turn out quite well if you fry them quickly and pop them in the oven.

I have made this recipe many times. I usually add dried parsley and finely chopped green onions with the tops. I also add oil to the batter so it will be able to turn over to cook each side. I was told this was a German recipe but I think many countries claim it.
