SPONGE FINGERS!

[PeggySioux]

Dd was chucking things into the supermarket trolly with gay abandon. I thought I'd removed all the unwanted stuff, but a packet of sponge fingers from the baking aisle slipped through the net.

I'd forgotten about sponge fingers!

My mum used to make some wonderful 70s and 80s puddings with them and tins of orange segments and sweet boozey stuff. And possibly sponge cake.

They're 99% sugar and really crispy, but in a pudding they go all soft and soak up the booze. I've eaten about 10 .

Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Ooohh!! Tiramisu - mmmmmmm

yes

fond child hood memories here

did your dd like them?

She's not had one yet - been asleep!

tiramisu mmmmmm... DH is addicted to it.. make it all the time there is a recipe on my blog... though to be honest the last time I made it I just tore apart some cupcakes (fairy cakes) i had made for DS and his friends... kids got cupcakes with buttercream icing the adults got boozy tiramisu... here

I too love these biscuits which my father after a bottle of wine referred to as Bonio biscuits (Boudoir!!) .

Tried a great new recipe with them recently. Its a frozen ice cream tiramisu recipe. Line base and sides 9"spring release tin with bonio biscuits and paint them with some alcohol. Soften 2 tubs good ice cream (Coffee or chocolate) and put this in the bottom, spreading nicely. freeze for a day. then mix up small pot marscapone with 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla essence and 1 cup double cream. Spread this on top. Freeze for another hour or so. Sprinkle over some cocoa powder. Bring it out of the freezer about 10 mins before serving and cut with a blade that has been in hot water....really rich and yummy
