Cheese Puffs

Intro

Another one of Nancy Ransom's recipes, this one was brought home by Des from Te Kowhai which was THE wedding reception lounge in Horowhenua - back in the day. He was a chippie by trade but was surprisingly good at baking. Apparently he was the cook when he was stationed in the Pacific as a young man during WWII - which explains why a man of his generation, working in a macho industry, living in traditional, conservative, small town NZ in the 60s actually knew one end of a wooden spoon from the other! 

Recipe
Sift together:

• 1 cup flour
• 2 and a half teaspoons baking powder
• pinch of salt
• pinch of cayenne

Combine together then add to the dry ingredients above :

• 1 beaten egg
• 3/4 cup milk

Then fold in:

• 1 and a half cups grated tasty cheese

This should be a wet, lumpy, sloppy-scone consistency. Put tablespoons of mixture into greased patty tins and cook for about 5 minutes in a very hot 400 degrees fahrenheit oven. Serve immediately.
