Clam-ups

I got this one from my Mama (a.k.a. Mom)
This is like a fancy red-neck appetizer

Here is what you need:

6 1/2 oz of minced clams (you can get these in the can)
2 tbs diced onion
5 tbs butter
3 1/2 tsp flour
1/2 tsp horseradish
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
a dash of salt
9 slices of white bread, crusts removed
Paprika, to sprinkle

Heat oven to 425 degrees
Drain clams, reserve liquid set aside
Saute onion in 1 tbs of butter until tender
Stir in flour on low till blended.
Gradually add horseradish, garlic power, Worcestershire sauce, salt and clam juice. Bring to a boil on medium heat.
Stir for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and add clams.
Flatten bread with a rolling pin.
Melt remaining butter, brush one side of each slice of bread.
Spread with clam mixture and roll up.
Brush with remaining butter and sprinkle with paprika.
Cut each roll into thirds.
Place on greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 5 to 8 minutes until lightly brown.
Makes approximately 27

I gotta say these are pretty good, considering the name I didn't think I would like these fellas.  Give it a try!
