yep I know! that French caramel sauce looks very dubious |
it is really delicious- very sweet but so moreish |
I rely on Mr Pickings to eat up all my cooking as I am on a low-fat, low-sugar eating plan (hate that word diet!). But guess what! He had to rush off to the dentist this morning and is unable to indulge. Disaster! I may have to pass it on to the neighbours - poor things.
I love those old fashioned cookbooks from schools! We still have one that has the perfect recipe for pikelets and scones :D
ReplyDeleteThey are the best aren't they Lorraine ?
DeleteThose cookbooks must be fun to explore.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun Rachel.
DeleteGreat tweak of the recipe! This apple slice is easy but delicious and I bet yours is even better! Yes, I too love those community cookbooks.
ReplyDeleteThanks marcellina. It really is rather nice and so easy.
DeleteLOL that caramel sauce looks like it's something Charlie left behind but I do know that's how it looks cold. I did laugh. I'd love this cake!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maureen!
