I found this on a vegan site – I was looking for a quick recipe for my nephew Rhys’s birthday, in british measures, as I didn’t have time to convert american ones! Its quick, easy and yummy!! Be careful when you remove the cookies from the tray as they are quite soft in the middle and can stick a bit.
These are so simple, flakey, and fast. Please note the recipe should say 3/4 cup milk to 7/8 of a cup….Since the change over its got a 1 in there. Which they yet have to correct…See also my instructions where it states i use 3/4 of a cup of milk.)
This recipe was featured on week 37 of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and the British Virgin Islands is my 37th stop. Unless otherwise noted, my Travel by Stove recipes are taken from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. This recipe originally appeared in The Sugar Mill Caribbean Cookbook.
Entered for safekeeping, by Madalene Bonvini-Hamel of The British Larder. The recipe’s name tickles me. I imagine snacking on these in front of a soccer match with a fine ale. Bring out the mandolin, the deep fryer (or spray them with nonstick spray and bake them in the oven if you must), and a cream whipper (which needs 2 Nitrous Oxide pellets). (If you don’t have a cream whipper, you could whip with a hand mixer or stand mixer, it just won’t be as chic. But if you were looking for an excuse to get a professional cream whipper, here it is.) (See Recipe #13526 for directions to microwave the potato chips.) This may be made into a Vegetarian dish if agar agar replaced the gelatin. There! You have made gourmet potato chips! Eat with attitude!
These are light, tender and so easy. I work with a bunch of U.K people and one of them was kind enough to share this recipe with me because I kept on complaining how difficult it is to make good scones. You can add currants, other dried fruit, citrus zest, nuts, etc. – just stir it into the flour mixture before you add the cream. I personally love them with dried cranberries and orange zest.
