The Felician Sisters Michigan in Livonia have a couple of holidays
that are color themed in the same week-St. Patrick's Day and two days
later St. Joseph's Day. Everyone knows to wear green on St. Patrick's
Day but on St. Joseph's Day it is traditional
(at least a Polish and Italian tradition) to wear red!
We prepared the usual fare for St. Patrick's Day, Corned Beef and
Cabbage, Lamb Shanks and of course Green Beer, but for lunch we did a
subtle twist: home-made from scratch Corned Beef and Swiss Scones! They
were drizzled with whole grain mustard and served
with a side of honey-dill cabbage, the residents were raving about them
for days.
The Corned Beef and Swiss scone recipe is:
1.5 # Bread Flour
1.5# AP Flour
6 oz Sugar
.5 oz Salt
1# 3oz Butter
7 oz Eggs
1# 5 oz Milk
2# Diced Corned Beef
1# Diced Swiss
1. Mix dry ingredients
2. Cut in butter (mix until forms large chunks)
3. Mix in Corned Beef and Swiss
4. Mix in wet ingredients until just mixed.
5. Cut into thirds, roll each section into a rectangle 4" wide by 1" thick and approximately 12" long
6. Cut into triangles
7. Bush with egg wash
8. Bake at 400 for 15-20 min
