Crepes

1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups flour
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/2 tsp salt
butter or margarine

Combine all ingredients except butter in blender. Heat medium skillet over medium heat and grease with butter (this is optional, but crepes will probably stick if you don't and they will also not have the same texture. They will be more spongy. Pour a small amount (1/4 cup maybe) of batter onto the skillet and swirl to coat bottom. Add more batter if bottom is not coated. Crepe is ready to turn when batter no longer looks wet on top. Crepe can be flipped without a spatula if you are talented (that's what makes these fun), but you may end up with a few folded or on the floor until you get good at it.

Serve rolled up or folded in quarters and fill will jam, fruit, whipped topping, yogurt, or powdered sugar, or you can eat them like pancakes with syrup or lemon juice.

Recipe from Chef Darina of Ballymaloe Cooking School- County Cork, Ireland. Adapted by Anne Simmons-Benton:
2 1/2 cups Fine stoned ground oatmeal
2 cups buttermilk
2 1/2 cups All purpose flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking soda

Steep the oatmeal in the buttermilk overnight. Next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda together, then stir in the oatmeal. If necessary, add a little more milk, but don't make the dough too wet. Put into a large well- greased loaf pan (we use one which is 5 1/2 x 9 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches and bake in a moderte oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours). Serves 6.

2 pkgs (1/4-oz each) active dry yeast
2 cups warm buttermilk (110* to 115*)(warm buttermilk will appear curdled)
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes), melted
1/3 cup honey
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1-1/2 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Additional melted butter

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm buttermilk. Add the butter, honey, whole wheat flour, salt and baking soda. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled , about 1 hour.

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into seven portions. Divide each portion into six pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 2″ apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Brush with melted butter. Bake at 400* for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Honey Butter:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup honey

Potato Bread

225 grams/ 8 oz warm cooked potato
1/2 t salt
25 grams/ 8 oz butter, melted
50 grams/ 2 oz plain flour

Also know as fadge or potato cake, this is delicious hot from the griddle or pan with melted butter and a sprinkling of sugar. It is also a much-loved part of a traditional breakfast.
Mash potatoes well. Add salt and butter, then work in enough flour to make a pliable dough. Divide the dough in two and roll out on a floured surface to form two circles 22cm/ 9 in in diameter and 1/2 cm/ 1/4 in in thickness. Cut each circle into quarters and bake on a hot griddle or pan for about 5 minutes or until browned on both sides. Some people like to grease the baking surface, while others prefer a light dusting of flour for a drier effect.
