Categories: Seafood, Irish
       Yield: 6 servings

   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 ts Baking powder (for scones)
       1 pn Salt (for scones)
       1    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 tsp 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 and bake in a hot oven (450 F) for 25-30 minutes,
   until the scones are golden brown.
