Oh, thanks! I'll look for it here.
How about a Book Club Forum, Mel?
We could narrow the focus to Historical novels or biographies to fit 'the mandate'!

8 oz flour 4 oz sugar 4 oz lard 1 egg 2 heaped tsp baking powder milk to mix Mix together the dry ingredients, rub in the lard and bind with the beaten egg and enough milk to give a kneadable consistency. Roll out on a floured board to a thickness of 1" then place on a greased baking tray and bake at 350c, gas mark 4 until firm, approximately 15-20 minutes. This plain cake was described as an 'oven slab cake' to be served cut into pieces and thickly buttered. |

And if you mixed it with currants and rolled it out thinner, would it be "sad cake" ? |

The recipe (from the same book) for 'Rossendale Sad Cake' uses water not milk, more lard or suet and much less sugar....as well as the optional currants |

Sue, I had asked Glenys in a private message about the quote because I, too, think it's wonderful. The book is in the public library system here and I picked it up yesterday. Now I'm looking forward to a good read. Joan |

Well we do have a 'Books' section viewforum.php?f=23 We have had a few 'book reviews' there. Feel free to start a new topic and have your discussions there unless you want a dedicated section for book reviews? |
