Cheese Canocles. (Mrs. Weston).
(Their usual name is “Coquilles à la Viennoise.”)
Take nearly 1 pt. of water in a stewpan with 4 oz. of fresh butter, let them boil together, then mix in 6 ozs. of flour, and 6 eggs, with about 1 lb. of grated Parmesan cheese, and a little mustard, salt and pepper.
Have some boiling water ready, and, when all is well mixed, drop in the preparation in balls the size of walnuts, letting them boil for 10 minutes. Drain them on a sieve, and then pile them in a silver soufflé dish.
Pour over them a little brown Spanish sauce (see Sauces for Meat), sprinkle over them some grated Parmesan; put them into the oven to bake for 20 minutes, then glaze them quickly, and put them back into the oven for 10 minutes more to set and become a nice light-brown colour, but not dried up into separate hard balls. Take care they don’t scorch or they will be bitter. Serve in a silver soufflé dish.
They may be warmed up again in cockle shells for lunch.
