Well spotted, didn't even notice that

Don't spose the cup sizes (snigger) matter so much in this recipe.

I'm guessing the flour and water is just the thickening agent?

Oh and 20 (UK) Fl. oz. = Pint.

Looked for some Crawfish while in Sainsbury's last night couldn't find any.

Had some nice looking raw tiger prawns though.  need a second mortgage for them though

The amount of flour does matter, it has to be half of the amount of butter.  The flour and butter make the roux.  The water is just to keep the mixture from getting to thick, after you add in all your ingredients

Graeme was saying he didn't think you brits got the crawfish there.  They come from the south here in the states.  If you can get some shrimp, they will work well to.

Yeah thats the only measurement that really matters as far as i can tell.

Crawfish are difficult to get....we can get Crayfish and Langoustines, quite similar i think
