One of my favourite recipes

I discovered this recipe in a women's institute book my sister in law gave me as an engagement gift. The recipes are quick and easy and also economical, which of course was a big plus for a newly wed bride;) This recipe has been a firm favourite with hubby and my children.  It is a recipe they will both take with them when they leave home.
The basic recipe can be modiied for any left overs, but we like the sweetcorn as the best. I like to add fresh asparagus when it is in season, however it is as delicious without.

 



1 tin creamed sweetcorn* 

punnet of fresh asparagus(optional)

1.5 cups flour

3teaspoons Baking powder

pinch of salt

4Tablespoons margarine( I find butter makes the pastry heavier)

7Tablespoons of boiling water

3 eggs

1 cup of grated cheese(or more to suit your preferences)

 

Method:

1. Set oven at 190deg. C

2.Grate cheese and lightly grease pie dish

3. Sift dry ingredients

4.Melt marg in water, mix in with dry ingredients and press into pie dish

5. Mix eggs, sweetcorn and a handful of grated cheese.

6.Place mixture into pie shell and place asparagus on top like the spokes of a wheel.

7. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

8. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes

9. My oven needs to be turned down to 180 deg.C after 20 minutes

 

*  To cream a tin of sweetcorn, just blitz in a liquidiser and add a little milk so that  the mixture is not too thick

 

I have substituted the sweet corn with mushrooms and left over savoury mince.

I would imagine anything that takes your fancy would work :)
