Subject: RE: BS: Uk Labour Party discussion II
The recipe is online, Dave, but she gives quantities "for six" that wouldn't feed six sparrows (haven't checked whether sparrows eat smoked haddock...), so I've put my amounts in that produced two generous dollops. I get annoyed by recipes that specify a weight of spuds without telling you whether they mean peeled or unpeeled weight. Also, she says to pour the cream into the cornflour and whisk. That was a lump-laden disaster that forced me to get the electric blender out (more bloody washing up), which is why I said to cream the cornflour first with a drop of milk before stirring in the cream. Also, she said "pouring double cream." That means double cream! I prepared it hours in advance, so all I had to do was whack it in the oven. I like recipes like that, especially if I'm feeding the arriving hordes. Gives me more drinking time!
