Modern RedactionIngredients:
250ml milk Method:Blend the flour and milk to a smooth gravy-like sauce in a saucepan (add a little extra flour if too thin and a little extra milk if too thick). Add the honey and saffron and bring to a soft boil, stirring all the while to prevent scorching or sticking. The colour of the sauce should be a golden yellow. Add more saffron to achieve the desired effect. Reduce the heat at this point. Meanwhile bring about 5cm water in a saucepan to a soft boil. One at a time, break the eggs into a bowl and gently slide the egg into the hot water to poach (adding 1 tbsp vinegar to the water will help keep the whites together). Allow the eggs to poach to the point where the yolks have just cooked then remove from the water with a slotted spoon. Place the eggs in a serving dish and ladle the milk sauce on top. Season with salt and pepper then serve. |
