Imbolc Plain Buttermilk Bread Food
IMBOLC PLAIN BUTTERMILK BREAD
So you've made my quick and easy goats-milk ricotta, and now you have a pot of warm, leftover whey. This simple bread recipe is a great use of the whey, and goes very well with my cheese! Please note that measurements for flour and whey are approximate - I cook by eye, not by scale! A great and simple recipe, with minimal kneading, to enjoy at Imbolc.

Steps:
- Combine the yeast and sugar, and add a few teaspoons of whey. Leave the yeast culture to stand for a few minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Add 4 cups of flour to a bowl and blend with the salt. Make a small well in the centre.
- Pour the 2-3 cups of whey into the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring between cups. Add the yeast culture with the second 1/2 cup of whey. Continue adding whey until the dough is very frothy and seems somewhat between a dough and a batter.
- Sprinke the remaining cup of flour onto a surface, thickly, and coat hands with the flour. Pour the dough/batter onto the floured surface.
- Keeping your hands thickly floured, knead the dough into the floured surface, folding in more flour from the surface as you go. In just a couple of minutes, the dough should be smooth and elastic, and you will likely find that most of the leftover flour has not been used.
- Let the dough rise for approximately 30 minutes, before shaping as desired. The bread can be shaped into 2 large cottage loaves, 1 very large plait, or several small rolls.
- If you still have leftover whey, brush a little of this over the formed loaves before baking on 180C, until golden brown on top, and until the loaves sound hollow when tapped underneath.

IMBOLC FOODS: 10 MAGICAL MEALS & DRINKS FOR BRIGID'S DAY
From otherworldlyoracle.com
- Braided Bread. Grains are associated with Saint Brigid, as well as the goddess Brigid. Therefore, you may choose to make any kind of bread you’d like for Imbolc.
- Herb Butter. An easy Imbolc food to make and one that compliments the braided Brigid bread above is our recipe for Spring herb butter. There’s nothing more scrumptious than herb butter on fresh bread.
- Blackberry Crumble. Blackberries are a sacred fruit to Brigid and used as a traditional offering. These little fruits grow on bramble bush with thick, nasty thorns that serve as protection for the plant itself.
- Colcannon. Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish that’s often served on Imbolc, as well as on Samhain and the other Celtic sabbats. Put simply, it’s mashed potatoes with cabbage and sometimes bacon is added (though I think that’s a more modern rendition of the truth).
- A Nice Cup O’ Ale. This one’s easy and doesn’t require a recipe, now does it? A traditional Imbolc beverage is ale. So grab yourself a pint, boyo! If you don’t have ale, any kind of beer you have on hand will do.
- Potatoes Leeks Au Gratin. We are aware that Au Gratin dishes are NOT traditionally Irish. However, the fact that this particular dish combines potatoes with a spring veggie (leeks), cream and cheese is the reason it is perfect as an Imbolc food.
- Dandelion Wine. Dandelions are prevalent in Ireland and are also associated with the goddess Brigid and her Saintly counterpart. As a child, dandelions always made me smile.
- Beer Cheese Soup. What could be more Imbolc than beer and cheese together in one dish…voila! Beer cheese soup is a hearty meal for any Imbolc gathering.
- Roasted Rack of Lamb. I first had the thought that perhaps eating lamb on Imbolc would be sacrilegious somehow, but then I realized, I’m pagan. And I eat meat.
- Blackberry Cheesecake. If you’re not feeling the blackberry crumble, why not indulge in a blackberry cheese for Imbolc? This dish combines dairy and blackberries, two traditional offerings for Brigid.
