Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onions and garlic and fry gently for 3 minutes until soft and transparent. Add the crumbled dillisk towards the end and mix gently. Set aside to cool.
  2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Stir in the mustard, cream of tartar and cayenne. Rub in the butter until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Make a well, pour in the milk and egg (keep a little back) and mix gently. Stir in the cheese and the cooled onion and dillisk.
  3. Brush with the reserved milk and egg and sprinkle cheese on top.
  4. Bake at 200°C for 12 minutes until golden. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Best served warm with butter.
