| Ingredients for Savoury Tartlets 4 eggs 4 oz. grated cheese 1 oz. of butter 1 teaspoonful of mustard 4 fl. oz. of cream Pepper and salt to taste For the crust: 6 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal 2 oz. of butter Directions Whip up the eggs and add to each egg 1 dessertspoonful of water. Dissolve the mustard in a little water and mix this, the cheese and seasoning with the eggs. Heat the butter in a frying-pan and when boiling stir in the eggs and cheese mixture, stirring it with a knife over the fire until set. Turn the mixture into a bowl to cool. Meanwhile have ready the mixture for the pastry. Rub the butter into the flour, add enough water to make it hold together, mixing the paste with a knife. Roll it out thinly and use a pastry cutter to make small circles with which to line small patty pans/muffin tins/bun tins and to make the tartlet covers. Fill the pastry cases with the egg and cheese mixture. Moisten the edges of the pastry in the patty pans, cover with a pastry top and press the edges together. Bake the little tartlets in a moderately hot oven at 350f/180c/Gas 4 until pastry is cooked. This will take from 15 to 20 minutes. |
