BLARNEY STONES

This recipe has been handed down for at least 4 generations thus far. It is total Blarney! Our family has made this recipe each St. Patrick's Day for approximately 60 years and none of us are Irish! It is a messy experience that we just can not resist putting ourselves through each year all for the sake of tradition! Hope you...

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
2 c granulated sugar
1 c hot water
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 dash(es) salt
powdered sugar icing, very thin
ground peanuts, finely ground

Steps:

  • 1. Grind peanuts with a meat grinder or food chopper (The one from Pampered Chef works very well). Set peanuts aside in a shallow dish.
  • 2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • 3. Beat eggs and sugar until thick. Gradually add hot water and flour mixture alternately to mix.
  • 4. Pour into greased jelly roll pan.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool.
  • 6. While cake is baking, prepare very thin powdered sugar icing.
  • 7. Cut cooled cake into approximately 1 1/2" X 2" rectangular squares.
  • 8. Now comes the FUN! This is a little less messy if you have two people.
  • 9. You have a shallow dish of icing, a shallow dish of crushed peanuts and the cut bars of cake. Roll the cake in the thin icing and then in the crushed peanuts.
  • 10. Dry on racks or waxed paper. These bars do not keep particularly well. They should be enjoyed and shared with friends on the holiday.
  • 11. HINT: I find that lining the jelly roll pan with parchment paper instead of greasing works well.

Tips

- When making the Blarney Stone Soup, use a variety of fresh vegetables to add flavor and texture. - If you are short on time, you can use canned beans instead of dried beans. Just be sure to rinse them well before using. - To make the soup even heartier, add some cooked meat, such as ground beef or sausage. - Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping. - For the Blarney Stone Salad, use a variety of fresh greens and vegetables. You can also add some cooked chicken or tofu for protein. - Be sure to use a flavorful dressing for the salad, such as a vinaigrette or a creamy dressing. - Serve the salad immediately so that the greens stay crisp. - When preparing the Blarney Chips, use a sturdy potato, such as a Yukon Gold or Russet potato. - Cut the potatoes into thin slices so that they will crisp up nicely. - Be sure to season the potatoes well with salt and pepper before baking. - Serve the chips with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.
