There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Yeasted Oatmeal Pancakes (galettes) with sausage - untested

from The Scottish Oats Bible by Nichola Fletcher
and https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pork/creamy-ham-peas-over-spuds.html for the ham

6 servings

For the pancakes
3oz/75g oat flour
3oz/75g flour
1 1/4 tsp (1/2 of 7g sachet) quick yeast?
1 tsp salt
175ml hot water
175ml milk

Filling
3 Arbroath smokies (what is a suitable alternative. Bacon? Ham?)
  • So, Arbroath smokies each weigh from 350-500g each, so 12oz to 1lb 10oz! That's a lot! That's like up to 4lbs 8oz!!! So, no. Not that much. In looking at other recipes, 1 cup of dairy for 1 cup of diced ham seems good.
2 med onions, chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp flour
150ml (3/4 cup) milk
1/2 tsp ground mace or nutmeg
50ml (1/4 cup) cream
Chopped parsley
Handful of peas
  1. Mix the flours, yeast and salt. 
  2. Mix the hot water with the milk, and add to the flour gradually, stirring well so there are no lumps. Cover and leave in a warm place for an hour until bubbly (GET THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE STAFFORDSHIRE OATCAKES).
  3. Heat a 12" skillet or heavy frying pan, brush with butter and pour in a scant ladleful of the batter, swirling it round quickly to coat the whole pan thinly.
  4. If the mixture is too thick to do this, add some milk to the mixture. Once the sides start to curl, turn the pancake over using a spatula - they are a bit fragile - and cook the other side. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with the rest to make 6 large pancakes.
  5. Discard the skin and bones of the Arbroath smokies. Briefly cook the smoked fish. (This might be just with bacon, but maybe ham would be better to replace the flaked smoked fish in the cream sauce). 
  6. Gently cook the onions in a little butter until cooked but not brown. Stir in the flour, then gradually add the milk, stirring to avoid lumps until thick and creamy, then add the flaked fish, cream, parsley and peas. Cook for another few minutes until the peas are just cooked. Divide the mixture between the pancakes, roll them up and serve with mashed potatoes.
