Ah, a great, easy recipe for a family favourite! My parents grow arrowroot in their backyard.. I should really try and make this from their produce.
ReplyDeleteHow would you prepare arrowroot from the backyard into this recipe?
ReplyDeleteArrowroot powder is great for thickening sauces etc i like it much better than flour or cornflour.
ReplyDeleteMiss Wired - sorry don't know about making arrowroot into flour ... good question - wonder if anyone else can help?
