Cook the Boxty
Serve
Fold 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar or Irish Dubliner cheese into the batter along with the green onions.
Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley or chives to the batter for a fresh, herby flavor.
Crumble 4 strips of crispy cooked bacon and fold it into the batter before frying.
Instead of frying, spread the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Slice and fry the pieces in butter to serve.
