A quick and easy twist on a pie. Cobbler is an American expression used for the sweet or savoury dishes topped witih a thick crust, very similar to a scone dough.
Ingredients
- 1x quantity of steak and kidney casserole
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
- 50 grams butter, diced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs like sage, parsley and thyme
- ¾ cup milk
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Turn the steak and kidney casserole into a large ovenproof dish, reheating if necessary until piping hot. This can be done in the microwave or oven.
- Sift the flour and mustard powder into a bowl. Use your fingertips to rub in the butter until the mixture looks like crumbs. Stir through the herbs and make a well in the centre.
- Pour in the milk and stir quickly with a knife to make a soft dough. Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead lightly. Press out with floured hands to about 1.5-2cm thickness.
- Cut into rounds or squares and place the pieces of top of the piping hot steak and kidney casserole, preferably around the edges. Brush with milk to glaze if wished.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the scones are cooked. Serve piping hot.
Cooks Tips
Variations: - Sprinkle the scones with a little grated cheese before baking. - Use half wholemeal flour - make sure it is self-raising wholemeal flour or, if not, add 2 teaspoons baking powder per cup of wholemeal flour.
