Sterling's Seashell Sandwiches

"My sweet darling son gets tired of the same old sandwiches, so I make these when those blues hit and he gobbles them up. My DH, the comic of course, also gobbles them up but he adds a dollop of cranberry sauce to his seashell when it's filled with my Recipe #50082 and tells my son it's the red tide in the seashell. Well at least my son learns marine biology while eating his seashells. Thank goodness DH doesn't add a dollop of caviar, I know he would say it was an oil spill."

directions

  • Heat oven to 450°F.
  • In a medium saucepan bring hot water and shortening to a boil.
  • Add dry ingredients all at one time, stirring constantly.
  • Continue cooking and stirring until mixture leaves the sides of the pan, add a little more flour and salt if it doesn't pull away.
  • Remove from heat, cool 2 minutes.
  • Add an egg, one at a time, beating vigorously after each egg until mixture is smooth again.
  • On a lightly oiled foil lined baking sheet drop mixture by teaspoonfuls about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8- 10 minutes at 450°F.
  • Turn oven down to 350°F, bake for 12- 15 minutes longer, watch for too much browning.
  • Remove from sheet and cool on wire racks.
  • When cool, cut top partially open and fill with favourite kid filling (tuna, chicken, turkey, seafood salad).
  • Serve on a bowl of crushed ice covered with tinted plastic wrap (I use blue for the ocean).
