Patio Scrolls

Make an unsweetened scone dough and roll out on floured board a 20 cm x 23 cm rectangle. Brush dough with melted butter than sprinkle with 1 cup of tasty grated cheese, 1/2 pkt of creamy onion soup and 2 tablespoons of chopped gherkin. Roll up as a swiss roll and cut into 10 slices. Place slices cut side up on greased 18 cm sandwich tin. Pour over 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Bake at 200C for 20-25 mins. These can be eaten hot or cold but like scones are much nicer hot.

Frimsel Soup

3 or 4 quarts [3 or 4 lts.] stock

2 turnips

3 carrots

1 onion

1 head celery

1 bunch mixed herbs

1 lb. [500 gm.] frimsels

1 pinch saffron

Method: Cut the vegetables as for Julienne soup, boil well in the stock until cooked. Half an hour before serving add the frimsels and saffron.

FRIMSELS: Beat an egg well with a pinch of salt, then sufficient flour (wholemeal) to thicken it enough to roll out. Roll as thin as a wafer, allow to dry, then fold and cut as thin as vermicelli; add these to soup.

'Uncooked' Flan Filling

Fill uncooked flan with mixture of mixed dried fruits (sultanas, raisins, currants, mixed peel, cherries). Just about cover with cream (good way to use leftover which needs using). Sprinkle with sugar, and optional coconut. I add a dusting of mixed spice before adding cream. Special occasions add chopped nuts and stir rum through the fruit before putting into the base. (Very rich - only need a sliver served). Then cook as usual or until slightly golden.
