Scallops are one of the delights of the Cornish coast, a truly delicious shellfish. Here they are cooked simply and served in a milk-based sauce.

Ingredients:

16 scallops (with coral)
200ml (4/5 cup) milk
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp plain flour
sprigs of parsley, to garnish
lemon slices, to garnish
salt and freshly-ground white pepper, to taste

Method:

Clean the scallops and remove any black membranes. Wash and pat dry then place in a pan with the milk. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes or until the scallops are tender then take off the heat and set aside.

Melt the butter in a small pan, scatter over the flour and stir to form a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute then whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.

Arrange the scallops on a serving dish, pour over the white sauce, garnish with the parsley and lemon slices then bring to the table.
