Blarney Stones image

This recipe has been handed down for at least 4 generations thus far. It is total Blarney! Our family has made this recipe each St. Patrick's Day for approximately 60 years and none of us are Irish! It is a messy experience that we just can not resist putting ourselves through each year all for the sake of tradition! Hope you...

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
2 c granulated sugar
1 c hot water
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 dash(es) salt
powdered sugar icing, very thin
ground peanuts, finely ground

Steps:

  • 1. Grind peanuts with a meat grinder or food chopper (The one from Pampered Chef works very well). Set peanuts aside in a shallow dish.
  • 2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • 3. Beat eggs and sugar until thick. Gradually add hot water and flour mixture alternately to mix.
  • 4. Pour into greased jelly roll pan.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool.
  • 6. While cake is baking, prepare very thin powdered sugar icing.
  • 7. Cut cooled cake into approximately 1 1/2" X 2" rectangular squares.
  • 8. Now comes the FUN! This is a little less messy if you have two people.
  • 9. You have a shallow dish of icing, a shallow dish of crushed peanuts and the cut bars of cake. Roll the cake in the thin icing and then in the crushed peanuts.
  • 10. Dry on racks or waxed paper. These bars do not keep particularly well. They should be enjoyed and shared with friends on the holiday.
  • 11. HINT: I find that lining the jelly roll pan with parchment paper instead of greasing works well.
