Those wonderful shells that accompany a good roast of beef, and you can pour gravy into! Easy to do, in a muffin tin, this one's older than I am, and I'm 51 tomorrow! Ingredients:
7/8 cup flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup milk, at room temperature |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup water, at room temperature |
lard, to suit |
Directions:
1. Flour and salt in a large bowl -.
2. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and add the warm milk.
3. Stir thoroughly.
4. Beat the eggs separately and add to batter.
5. Add the warmed water.
6. Beat this with a beater until large bubbles rise to the surface - then allow to rest for an hour -.
7. Beat again after resting -.
8. Melt lard to 1/4 depth (6mm) in each muffin holder at preheated 400 degree oven, then pour in batter in each cup to 5/8 (15 mm) depth (very quickly!) and cook at 400°F for 20 minutes -.
9. Lard will make them taste best, but butter or just about any other oil will also work, will beef fat, which is smokey but superb in flavour.
10. ENJOY!
