Can't remember having it with coconut on. always 100s & 1000s at school. Although undoubtedly the original recipe would probably have been with coconut.
Oooooh, got my mouth watering now, thanks for the recipe, always been a big fan of manchester tart, and it sounds so easy to do that even I might have a go at it.
Forgot to mention, have the culinary skills of a 4 year old :-[
Hate cooking. Only make something from scratch when I absolutely have to these days. Or if someone wants a special treat.
Besides, once over it may have been cheaper to do it, but not any more.
Who was it said "life's too short to stuff a mushroom"?
There's always something better I could be doing.
hey lettie remember making those pastry things with your gran, filled with raisens and topped with suger,,,,dead fly pie??? sorry forgotten what they are really called!
Sad cake short crust, with no sugar on top.
Perhaps we should start a recipe secton girls. Or Boys wont be sexist hubby does cooking in my house unless kids over for tea.
used to make sad cake and dead fly pie with my gran, sad cake was lovely with a thick layer of butter on it. Still love dead fly pie (eccles cakes) now. Think I will visit Asda this morning and stock up. [smiley=idea.gif]
Cannot remeber the coconut but i remember the cherry.Wife has made me download the recipe.Maybe we will be in for a treat at the weekend.Problem will be the Custard.We cannot get that over here.Only a vannilla flavoured thing that tastes nothing like it at all.
thanks for posting the recipe Cazzer
Thanks Anne got that one.Wife also added an egg white in to it too.Do not ask me why?It made the custard go firm almost straight away.Got home from work yesterday and that is what we had for our afters.Childhood memories came flooding back
