I am always on the look-out for recipes that are super quick to put together because there are days when I simply do not have a lot of time to cook. While I love spending loads and loads of time getting something right - like a good sambal balacan or a beef rendang recipe, I can only work on complicated recipes occasionally. So when I chanced upon this recipe, I was very skeptical. How can anything be so simple, and yet so versatile? Of course I had to try it out immediately - ok, in this case, the very next day!
So the following day, I bought a pack of Bisquick and a bag of Tatter Tots - they were a lot more easy to find than I had anticipated!! (I got them at Fairprice, no less!)
All I did was to mix the batter (see recipe below), spray a little oil on each muffin cup, and place a scant tablespoon of the mixture at the bottom of each cup before placing 3 frozen tatter tots (or puffs, as they are known here) in each cup. If you cannot find tatter tots, you can always chop up some hash brown into small pieces and use them instead.
Then I placed ham, corn and cheese in each cup.
Add another 1.5 tablespoons of batter over the top. And bake them.
That took me all of 10 minutes. Seriously, can it get any easier?
Once they are golden brown, they are done. Just let them cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before taking them out and placing them on a cooling rack so they can cool completely. These babies can be kept frozen for up to 3 months, and all you need to do is take them out of the freezer, thaw and reheat them in the microwave oven as and when you need a snack!
RECIPE:
Ham, Corn and Potato Mini-Pies (makes 12)
Ingredients:
Ham and Corn Mixture
5 slices ham, cut into small pieces
1 cup corn (frozen)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
36 Tatter Tots (frozen)
Baking Mixture
1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/8 tsp sea salt
Method:
1. Combine all ingredients in Baking Mixture list.
2. Mix using a whisk until the mixture is relatively lump-free.
3. Oil muffin tin with cooking spray.
4. Place a scant tablespoon of mixture into each cup.
5. Place ingredients (that you are using) into cups.
6. Top with 1.5 tablespoons of mixture each.
7. Bake for about 30 minutes at 170C, or until golden-brown.
You're right. Even I can do this!
