You will need..... 6 oz. plain flour salt and pepper 1/2 pint water 2 oz. butter 3 eggs

20 minutes
2 oz. butter
1/2 pint milk
Cooking Time

50 minutes
2 oz. grated cheese
Oven setting
400ºF; Gas Mark 6
Sift
together 5 oz. flour and salt. Bring water and butter to the boil, add
flour and beat well until smooth and mixture forms a ball. Add eggs one
at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Spread a little of
the mixture in an ovenproof dish. Pipe the rest around the edge. Wash and
slice leeks. Fry for 5 minutes in butter. Add remaining flour, mix well
and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually add milk.
Return to heat and bring to the boil, stirring all the time until
slightly thickened. Add mustard and cheese. Pour mixture
into centre of the flan and bake for 40 minutes. Serves 4.
Quick Tip
This
mixture could be spread and piped on to a sheet of well-greased foil on
a baking sheet instead of being cooked in a dish. Put the filling in
before cooking, to speed up the preparation.
