Raspberry buns. Yum! They were made using a rubbing-in method dolloped on on a baking tray mixture, a finger stuck in the middle to make a well and then a big spoon of Hartleys raspberry seedless jam. Best warm but BEWARE molten jam (best eat around it and let jam cool first). Still love them, recipe in my book that dates from the '50s

Goo! (Or that's what we called it!) a fridge cake really. Melted marshmallow, golden syrup butter and rice crispier from memory. Athen cooled in a baking tin.

As a child and with my children it has to be basic Fairy cakes. The kids can make them themselves as long as an adult deals with the oven. The recipe is.
Preheat the oven to gas mark 4, mix 2 eggs, 100g sugar, 100g, self raising flour, 100g soft real butter and a dash of vanilla. Put into 12 cake cases and put in the oven for 20 minutes.
To make butter icing, mix softened butter and icing sugar.

So many lovely things but especially huge cheese straws, marmite whirlies, and homemade gingernuts and gingerbread people. So much fun making the gingerbread men into funny shapes and decorating them in bizzare clothes.

Thanks for all the recipes and memories!
