Fried Egg's With Toast
Irish Soda Bread:
INGREDIENTS-
- 4 to 4-1/2 cups flour
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1-3/4 cup buttermilk
- Preheat oven to 425F. Whisk together 4 cups of flour, the sugar, salt, and baking soda into a large mixing bowl.
- Using your fingers (or two knives or pastry cutter), work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal (or bread crumbs), then add in the raisins.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add beaten egg and butter milk to well and mix in with a wooden spoon until dough is too stiff to stir. Dust hands with a little flour, then gently knead dough in the bowl just long enough to form a rough ball. If the dough is too sticky to work with, add in a little more flour. Do not over-knead! Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface, and quite shaggy. You want to it just enough so that the flour is just moistened. Shaggy is good. If you over-knead, the bread will end up tough.
- Transfer dough to a large, lightly greased cast-iron skillet or a baking sheet (it will flatten our a bit in the pan or on the baking sheet), or if you have a pie tin that works also. Using a serrated knife, score top of the sough about an inch and a half deep in and 'X' shape. The purpose of the scoring is to help heat get into the center of the dough while it cooks. Transfer to oven and bake until bread is golden and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, about 35-45 minutes.

Butterscotch Cookies:
Yield: About 30 cookies
INGREDIENTS-
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 egg
- 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 12 oz. bag butterscotch chips
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Mix the sugars, butter, vanilla, and egg until well blended and creamy.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt together. (You can do it right on top of the wet ingredients, mixing the flour into the wet ingredients.)
- Stir wet and dry ingredients together until well blended. The dough will be very dry and stiff and may seem too dry, but it will come together.
- Stir in butterscotch chips
- Put rounded spoonfuls of dough on a cool cookie sheet a few inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are just beginning to brown. For best results, use on cookie sheet at a time in the center of the oven.
- Cool 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet and then transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
