Can someone from England give me this recipe?!
Answers: A friendof mine recently traveled to England. While there she had a beef and bombadier pie that she just loved. If anyone has a recipe for this please post it for me. Thanks
Bombardier Beef Cobbler
1kg (2lb) diced braising steak
25g (1oz) seasoned flour
Oil or dripping for frying
3 large onions, sliced
2 medium carrots, sliced
2 sticks celery, chopped
1 dstsp caster sugar
300ml (1/2 pint) Bombardier
300ml (1/2 pint) beef stock
Half a tin of chopped tomatoes
Half tsp each of dried sage and thyme
For the scone (cobbler) topping:
225g (8oz) self-raising flour
25g (1oz) butter or margarine
50g (2oz) mature Cheddar, grated
Pinch each of mustard powder and
cayenne pepper
2 tbsps chopped, fresh parsley
150ml (1/4 pint) buttermilk or milk
Dust the beef with seasoned flour then seal in hot oil or dripping in a frying pan; transfer with a slotted spoon to a heavy pan. Briefly saute the onions, carrots and celery in the frying pan, stir in the sugar, then add to the beef. Pour on the beer and stock, add the chopped tomatoes and dried herbs, cover and simmer gently until the meat is tender (around two hours), adding salt and pepper to taste 20 minutes before the end.
To make the cobbler, sift flour into a bowl, add salt, rub in the fat then stir in the grated Cheddar, seasonings and parsley. Add enough chilled milk to make a soft dough, roll out to 1cm (half inch) thick and cut into rounds with a 5cm (two-inch) cutter.
Transfer the beef to a large pie dish, arrange scone rounds on top, brush with milk and bake towards the top of a hot oven (220C/425F/gas mark 7) for 15 minutes until the scones are well risen and golden. Serve a portion of beef with a scone on top.
Hi...I am a recipe collector and use several sites to find what I'm looking for. Bombadier in this case is a type of English ale. Here's some links that may help. Have fun :)
