smaller lemon drizzle recipie needed.

[misdee]

oh it was lovely marslady but way too much for the misdee household. can i just halve the recipie?

Yes...I make a half sized on Wednesdays and full size on Sunday....lemon drizzle every day in this house!!!

cheers. was uncertain if i could just halve the recipie. it is lovely tho. hmmmmm.

Got a freezer Misdee? When I made it, I froze more than half of it, cut into slices. It freezes really well and means you don't have to do baking every week!

could someone link me to the thread containing the recipe - thanks

Freezing a very good idea. Microwave it and it's all soft and fresh again.

Halving recipe also works. Sorry Misdee with as many kids as I have we need the full recipe lol

oops... didn't mean to copy and paste twice told you the kids needed lots

I take one half of the lemons and squeeze the lemon juice over the pricked cake. Then I heat the rest (about 20 secs in microwave) and mix in the icing sugar. I like the topping quite thick, others prefer less. hth

Ah Mars, see the recipe I got, that was plain yucky, had enormous amounts of icing sugar with the lemon juice at the end which made it bleh!

No need for the heart going kerplink runs of to make Mars's cake!
