Upside down Vegetable Cake

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Strange name.  It reminds me of a meatless shepherds pie… except that it’s a big biscuit on top.  I suppose you could put the shepherd’s pie mashed potato mixture on top and eat it that way also.

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
4 cups cooked mixed vegetables  (your choice)
1/2 cup vegetable stock
2 tablespoons butter

Mix (and sift) dry ingredients together.  Cut in shortening until mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Combine the egg and milk, then add to dry ingredients, stirring just until mixed.

Grease a shallow baking pan.  place the hot (seasoned to taste) vegetables on the bottom of the pan.  Add the vegetable stock.  Dot with butter.  Then cover with the biscuit dough.

Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes (or until the top turns golden brown).

Turn out onto a hot serving place, with the vegetables on top.
