Notes
-
- Clams: You can use either chopped or minced clams, and you can find them in the supermarket aisle next to the tuna fish.
-
- Bisquick: This is a baking mix that contains flour, leavening and fat, and you can usually find it in the baking aisle, because it makes super good pancakes!
-
- Shallot: Shallots are part of the onion family, and they have a gentler taste than regular onions (and that’s where you can find them, near the onions in the produce section. You can swap in chopped scallions or chives if you like.
