Cod Cobbler Ingredients: • 1 1/2 lb Skinless filets of cod • 2 oz Butter • 2 oz Flour • 1/2 l Milk • 3 1/2 oz Grated cheese • 2 oz Grated cheese (for scones) • 2 oz Butter (for scones) • 1 t Baking powder (for scones) • 1 pn Salt (for scones) • 1 x Egg (for scones)   Directions: Place cod filets in the bottom of a round oven dish. Make a cheese sauce with 2 oz each of butter and flour, 1/2 l milk and 3 1/2 oz grated cheese: pour over fish. Then make scone dough -- rub 2 oz butter into 8 of flour with 1 t baking powder, and pinch of salt. Add 2 oz grated cheese, preferably mature Cheddar or a mixture of that and Parmesan. Drop 1 egg yolk into the mixture and add enough milk to make a workable dough. Roll out to a thickness of 1/2 inch and cut into small rounds with a scone cutter. -- Dispose these rounds on top of the sauce, so that they just about cover the surface; glaze them with a little milk, sprinkle some more grated cheese over them. Bake in a hot oven (450 F) for 25-30 minutes, until the scones are golden brown.
