My family were great bakers and made wonderful bread, cakes, scones and
pastries every week.

A couple of my favourites which I still sometimes make today:

Curd Tarts

8 oz curd cheese (or cottage cheese)
2oz sugar
2oz currants or raisins
1 egg
1 1/2 oz butter
pinch nutmeg

Line 7inch flan tin (or patty tins) with pastry

Melt butter, mix in all other ingredients, fill case/s
Bake in hot oven 425f for 15-20 minutes


Rich Scones

8 oz SR flour
1/2 tspn salt
1 1/2 oz butter
1 oz sugar
2 tblspns currants or sultanas
1 egg and milk to make 1/4 liquid (keep back a spoonful for tops)

Makes 10 scones

Mix flour and salt in basin and rub in butter

Beat egg and milk together, add to flour to make a soft dough.
