What would a gathering of friends be without FOOD; as requested by all attending WCMD here's the recipe:- Soak 1 cup dried apricots in boiling water until soft; drain well.
- Cream 8 oz butter and 1 cup sugar
- Beat in 2 eggs
- Sift & add 3 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder & a pinch of salt
- Add drained apricots. Mix well
ICING: Boil 3 Tbsp milk & 3 Tbsp butter & 1-2 Tbsp sugar for ~2 minutes. Cool slightly and add lots of vanilla essence, touch of lemon juice & enough icing sugar to make a spreadable consistency. Ice slice whilst fairly warm, cut into squares when nearly cold.
ENJOY!!
I will definately give these a try! When you are cooking in November, invite me over!!! u r the best!

Mmmm, yes they were extremely yummy. Think I'll have a go at making some. If you really do have an Aunty Winnie tell her thanks from me.
ReplyDeleteYes Aunty Winnie was a lovely lady who I spent most of my school holidays with in Huntly. She taught me to cook (which think I can do) & to crochet & knit (neither of which I can still do). PS her real name was Hilda!
