Imbolc Recipes


As we draw closer to the season of spring and the next Imbolc/Imbolg celebration, we may wish to look for some good food/recipes to use in honor of the Triple Goddess Brigid. One traditional food is pancakes, (and cakes of all grain-based foods). Pancakes are considered symbols of the sun because of their round shape and golden color.

Here are two recipes which I came across and would like to share with all of you.

Faery Wine

1 1/2 cups milk

1 tsp. honey

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

cinnamon

Warm milk - DO NOT BOIL. Add in honey and vanilla. Mix together and pour into a mug. Sprinkle with the cinnamon.

Bailey's Irish Cream Truffles

1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur

1 Tbs. butter

12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate pieces

2 egg yolks

1/4 cup heavy cream

powdered sugar or cocoa

Melt chocolate pieces, Bailey's and cream together over very low heat. Whisk in yolks, one at a time - mixture will thicken, Whisk in butter. Refrigerate several hours or overnight until firm. Make small balls with a teaspoon. Roll in powdered sugar or cocoa.

  2. Fairies do like their cream. I’d rather have the chocolate truffles
