Papa’s Scotch Woodcock

 Ingredients:

4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons flour

¼ teaspoon salt

white pepper to taste

dash cayenne pepper

¼- ½ teaspoon dry mustard

1 cup milk

1 cup evaporated milk

 

½ cup diced or grated Cabot Cheddar cheese

4-6 hard-cooked eggs sliced

Biscuits

 

Directions:

In a small, heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat.

With a whisk blend 2 tablespoons of flour into the melted butter.

Add seasonings, and cook over low heat, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes. Cooking for this length of time will minimize “flour” taste.

Slowly add milk & evaporated milk, stirring constantly. Continue cooking slowly until smooth and thickened. Then add cheese, stirring until cheese has melted.  Fold in eggs and serve over hot biscuits.
