Taste from my childhood

Thank you so much for your comments, Ladies and the second recipe Calendargirl.
I know what you mean about measurements in ounces, too! I have a set of balance scales which came with imperial weights. I got so fed up of converting today’s recipes from grams to ounces, that I finally bought a set of metric weights, so now I’m equipped for both eventualities.

The recipe in that link gives measurements in ounces. That makes it seem so comforting somehow.

Be-Ro recipe.

4oz shortcrust pastry.

Filling.
2oz caster sugar.
2oz ground almonds.
1 small egg.
A little raspberry jam.

Line 12 patty tins with pastry.
Mix almonds and sugar with sufficient egg to make a soft mixture.
Place a little jam in each case, then one tsp almond mixture.
Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Place thin strips of pastry at right angles across tops.
Bake in moderately hot oven, 375 degrees, about 20 minutes.

My mother in law made these and called them maids of honour. I want one now. They are really lovely.
