tattie soup

Dear Darling babz

My Daddy has requested a recipe for Tattie Soup and soda scones and tattie scones.


Help?

There's nothing quite like a good tattie scone at any time of day.
Supermarket ones are just pish, but when you go to a good bakery you cannot beat them.

But to make them myself, come on babz, tell us how !

[Babz]

Heres one of your requests.

2lb. Potatoes(diced)
2 Carrots(diced)
1 Turnip(diced)
1 Leeks(chopped)
1 Cup Carrot(Grated)
3 pints of Beef Stock(made from 2lb.marrow bones)
Parsley(finely chopped)
Salt and Pepper

Put the diced carrot,turnip,leeks, seasoning and stock into a large pan.

Bring to the boil and simmer covered for 1 hour. Add the diced potatoes and grated
carrots and simmer for another hour.

Garnish with the parsley.

Shona you probably won't be able to get marrow bones (due to the BSC scare) I use chicken or vegetable stock cubes for the base of my tattie soup.

[Babz]

Thanks Domino for pointing that out, I usually use a chicken carcass for
getting my stock and have also used a pork hock. They both make good stock.

thanks everybody. I.m glad that there were no suggestions from Buzz/Charlie.

You want to think about us vegetarians - we don't want beef or chicken or pork for the stock.

What's wrong with the taste of good wholesome vegetables or vegetable stock ?
