Salmon Molds

 Salmon Molds 

 One envelope of Knox gelatine - if there is no Knox available- use generic one

7 tablespoons of  cold water 

2 egg yolks 

1 teaspoon of kosher salt 

1 teaspoon of  mustard seeds

11/2 Tablespoons  of melted unsalted sweet fresh butter 

2 tablespoons of white apple cider vinegar 

1 cup of fresh sweet  milk 

1 can of  salmon 

a few grains cayenne pepper

 Soak the gelatine in a  cold water  five to twenty five minutes- depends on the brand. Beat the egg yolks with a pinch of salt yolks. While beating, add gradually the  mustard powder and the cayenne pepper , and only after you have beaten egg yolks with them,  add into them the melted butter, the milk and  the vinegar is added the last.  Cook this sauce in the water bath  in a double boiler, while stirring constantly until it gets thick, Add  the soaked gelatine into it and the salmon, separated into flakes. Pour this into the greased with butter molds. Turn those individual molds into the fridge and let them chill down for several hours. THIS IS THE WAY MY GRANDMOTHER FROM CHICAGO WAS SERVING FISH FOR EASTER BREAKFAST.
