Traditional Irish Soda Bread for Lughnasadh 🌻🍂🌞🌿

This bread is extremely easy to make, quick, and simple but delicious! Being a traditional and antiquated Irish recipe, it’s a wonderful choice of bread to make for Lughnasdah. Irish Soda Bread is also a bread that doesn’t keep for more than a few days, so it’s best for sharing with friends and family during a meal or celebration to ensure it’s all eaten quickly!

You Will Need:

3 cups of white all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsps of baking soda

1 1/2 cups of buttermilk (you can substitute regular milk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar)

Instructions:

Mix the flour and baking soda in a bowl, and then stir in the milk slowly, incorporating the milk in small increments. I used a wooden spoon to do this until the dough started to form, and then I switched and used my hands. Be careful not to over-stir or over-knead the bread.

Once the dough starts to form, place it on a lightly floured baking sheet and carefully shape it into a rounded disc, approximately 6” - 7” in diameter, and 2” thick.

Brush on melted butter over the top of the bread dough you have shaped, and sprinkle desired herbs on top. (I used rosemary and thyme) Then, cut an X into the top, or you could use any other desired symbol!

Bake at 400 F for 20 - 30 minutes, mine took about 26 minutes! Remove from stove and allow it to set on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. After an hour, the bread should be set and good to slice and share! I placed mine in a basket wrapped in a towel.

Lammas Breaking Bread Abundance Spell

“Abundance for you, Abundance for me. Abundance times two, Abundance times three. Slice it up, pass it around. Blessings for everyone shall be found.”

“And so mote it be.” 🍞🌿🌻🌽🍂

“You can’t feel my heart” I said

“I don’t need to” you replied

“Not even I can get through the wall” I said

“Then let’s sit here and wait” you replied

And so we sat against the wall, waiting

And slowly, the wall started to crumble

“Sharlotka” is a classic Russian apple cake. In some parts of the world, it’s known as the French Apple cake and it is best described as an apple sponge cake. This cake is packed with apples😍 Unlike traditional apple pie, which is heavy on the crust, this cake makes apples the star of the show. This results in a cake that is airy, soft and beautifully simple. Feel free to use any apple in this cake.

Soooo, you need:

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp cornstarch

4 large apples

powdered sugar for dusting

Wash, peal and dice apples into one inch pieces. Using a mixer, beat eggs with sugar, until it’s three times in volume. Using a spatula, fold in flour by thirds, add 1 tsp of baking powder and 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Cover bottom of the pan (I use 8 inches pan/20cm) with some cake batter, lay out the diced apples, cover apples with cake batter, shake the pan a bit, to spread batter between each apple piece. You have to do two layers of apples and cover the top of your cake with cake batter. The main thing is that the cake batter has to be not too thick and not too liquid.

Bake it at 350F/180C for 40 minutes, check using a wooden toothpick. If the cake is ready, the dough should not stick to the toothpick. It may take a bit more than 40 mins.

I’ve seen lavender syrup and lilac sugar trend so here’s a recipe using one of my favorite flowers/weeds, the dandelion. They grow easily, remind me of childhood innocence and hope, greens can be used in salad, and can even flavor honey with them. Recipe for vegan “dandelion honey” aka dandelion syrup. Tastes great in teas.

Dandelion Syrup

Ingredients:

Dandelion flowers (about 60)

1-1/2 cup water

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar (or 1/4 cup honey)

1/2 lemon, juice and zest

Instructions:

Harvest dandelions! Note: You can harvest in advance of making this syrup. Put blooms in an air-tight freezer bag in the freezer until you’re ready to get started.

Snip off blossoms from the green base into a container. Then rinse the flowers and pat dry. (You can skip this step to retain more of the pollen which is good for the immune system. If you are concerned about bugs though, inspect closely or they will also be strained out later.)

Add flower heads and water to a pot. Bring to a boil, and let it boil for 30 seconds to a minute.

Then remove the pan from the heat and steep over night (or at least 8 hours).

The next morning, strain the liquid into another pot or bowl. You can strain over a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer, squeezing out as much water as you can.

Return the strained liquid to the pot and discard the flowers. Add the sugar, lemon zest, and juice to the pot and simmer for one hour.

Let the syrup cool. Note: The syrup won’t thicken until it has cooled. Once it has cooled, taste it with a spoon. Adjust to taste with sugar and lemon juice.

That’s it!

Transfer to a sterile class jar or container and leave to cool completely. It can keep in the fridge for up to a month.

MAGICK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Ever wonder why your mom’s chocolate chip cookies tasted so good? I always did that’s for sure.

My grubby toddler hands would snatch one from the kitchen and cram it into my mouth, melted chocolate dripping from my chin. Turns out Magick can explain it. 

Ingredients + Magick correspondences

Witchy Tip: Place a piece of rose quartz charged with positive energy near the food to make the food taste better

¾ cup Crisco Butter flavored shortening

Stick with me here, Crisco makes your cookie more airy and soft. 

1 cup dark brown sugar

Sweetness, Comfort, Love

¼ cup white sugar

For romance and love

2 cups All-Purpose Flour

For Consistency 

2 tablespoons milk (any milk will do)

For love and nurturing 

¾ teaspoon baking soda

To banish negative energy

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

For love, lust and luck

1 egg

For finding true love 

1 teaspoon of sea salt

To Banish Negative energy 

½ cup chopped pecans

Wealth, Prosperity

Chocolate Chips and Chopped Chocolate bar (I use Hershey) No measurement, because you measure that shit with your heart.

For comfort

Directions

Start by heating your oven to 375ºF.

Now in a kitchen aid on medium speed, beat your shortening, sugar, milk, and vanilla until very light and airy. About the duration of 2 plays of the song Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Paul Anka

Beat in egg. Now in a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. 

Now with your chocolate chips pour in until your heat says stop. If you wanna add the whole bag then you add the whole damn bag.

With a cookie scoop, scoop them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes.

Now I know there is no such thing as a perfect chocolate chip cookie, but these cookies are definitely hella addictive. In fact, is that your third cookie?

I love you all! My DMs, mail, and comments are always open!
