Was OK but I think I fiddled with it too much before it set so we ended up eating most of it along with cereal for breakfast. (See, I told you I was rubbish at this.)<br />I did shortbread a few days ago and suggested buying the Walkers variety, but apparently the teachers said if it could be home-made it'd be better. Grrrr.<br />Will play around with a few of these ideas.<br />Apart from Iota's idea of buying Chocolate fingers though, there's nothing else we can buy here. They don't sell sausage rolls or pork pies. I found a web site that ships them in but the minimum order was 6 dozen!!!<br />In years gone by I have done strawberries and cream (Wimbledon style) so if all else fails I'll leave instructions for the Ball & Chain.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-50310250066234147912012-05-24T10:36:09.636+01:002012-05-24T10:36:09.636+01:00Was all set with a recipe suggestion (scones, if y...Was all set with a recipe suggestion (scones, if you're interested), but saw that you've had more than one suggestion already...
