Darina Allen: Scones and homemade butter recipes to honour St Brigid

My research into St Brigid mentioned not only dairy but also honey and the tradition of eating a big plate of floury boiled potatoes slathered in rich homemade butter on St Brigid’s Day or St Brigid’s Eve.

My year is punctuated by little highlights, occasions to look forward to and celebrate. I particularly love St Brigid’s Day on February 1. I’m all set to celebrate the story of this feisty woman with my students from all over the world and everyone else around me.
