Fave Memory for the October HandPicked Design Challenge:

While most Southern hoecakes are small and fried, our family gives the name "hoecake" to a large, fluffy buttermilk biscuit that we bake and then cut into squares. The recipe for this three-ingredient quickbread has been passed down through at least four generations of Virginia mountain women, from my great-grandmother Rosalie who was born in the 19th century, to my grandmother Clelon who grew up during the Great Depression, to my mother Shelley who created the pencil-lettered title for this recipe, to me, who created this illustration in watercolor, pencil, and digital media. Whenever I make a hoecake, I feel connected to my heritage, proud of the women who came before me, and covered in flour. We love to eat hoecake with cozy fall soups or drizzled with honey for dessert.

I LOVE TEA AND SCONES WITH MY BEST FRIENDS,

One of a series of St Patrick's Day recipes created to help you celebrate the day with authentic Irish food. These soda farls are quick and easy to make and can be enjoyed all year round, perfect for breakfast where they pair well with eggs or black pudding (Clonakilty is a well-loved black pudding in Ireland), great with stews and soups plus they also toast well. Enjoy.

Nothing is better than a fresh warm, scone! Slightly moist and buttery inside, slightly browned and crusty on the inside. Serve with butter or lemon curd. Comfort food for breakfast or afternoon tea.
