Well, hello!
So many of you asked for this little recipe from the 80s so here we go today. Yes, there’s ham, grated cheddar, butter and flour, eggs and jalapenos. What more could you ask for?
Ready? Set up your hand mixer! Preheat your oven to 200C (400 F).
1 cup water
1/3 cup butter
I cup plain flour
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar
1 cup finely chopped ham or crisp bacon
1 teaspoon dry mustard
10 finely chopped jalapenos (optional)
In a saucepan, combine water and butter and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour.
You are supposed to drop in eggs one at a time and beat FOREVER until your arm is sore but NO. Grab a hand mixer, crack those eggs in one after another and mix the whole thing using the mixer. It works just the same. I pause to think of all those cooks in the 1980s beating things forever with a wooden spoon.
Someone should have told them to rebel. :)
Add in the ham (or bacon), mustard, cheese and jalapenos. Mix it all together with the hand mixer.
I use a piping bag to drop on a cookie sheet (with baking paper). You can also use a spoon.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm. You can also freeze them and reheat in a 200C oven for 5 minutes.
My husband loves these. I’m 50-50. :)
Happy Thanksgiving if you’re in America. Happy Friday here in Australia. Happy Thursday everywhere else.
I hope you and yours are safe, that you’re feeling well and doing okay.
Love Catherine x
