Ingredients:
1l cockles
30g butter
40g oatmeal
1 egg yolk
90g four
a little milk
pinch of salt
fat or oil for frying
Method:
The night before add the cockles to a bowl of salted water and sprinkle the oatmeal on top. Leave over night then the following day drain the cockles and scrub them thoroughly. Transfer to a pan of salted water, bring to a boil and boil for 4 minutes.
Leave the cockles to open and discard any that remain closed. Remove the flesh from the remainder. Meanwhile sift the flour and salt into a bowl and rub the butter into this mixture with your fingers. Add egg yolk and just enough milk to form a thick batter.
Heat oil in a deep pan and, using a spoon, transfer the cockles (one or tow at a time) to the batter then drop the batter covered cockles into the hot oil. Fry until crisp and golden then drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot.
