ROEREIERS - MRS H.S. BALL’S CHUTNEY
Step 1:Place 8 eggs and 80ml (1/3 cup) milk in a bowl. (Don’t add any more milk, as cooked egg only holds a certain amount of liquid.) Use a fork to whisk until the mixture is just combined with no streaks of white. If the mixture is streaky, the cooked eggs will be streaky, too.
Step 2:Heat 3 tsp butter in a medium heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Use the largest hot plate or gas burner to ensure even cooking. When the butter foams, swirl the pan to coat the base.
Step 3:Add egg mixture and cook, without stirring, for 30 seconds. Use flat-edged wooden spoon to push the mixture, scraping the bottom of the pan, from one side of the pan to the other. Repeat every 10 seconds, pushing the mixture to lift and fold the egg (stirring breaks it into small lumps). Cook for 2 minutes or until three-quarters of the mixture is cooked and one-quarter is still liquid. Remove from heat and gently fold the eggs twice. The residual heat will finish the cooking.
Serve immediately on buttered toast with lots of Mrs.H.S.Ball’s chutney.
