Apricot Clams

2 eggs
4 cups sugar
6 ozs butter
4 ozs cornflour
3/4 lb S. R. flour
About 4&1/2 doz. dried apricot halves

Method: Soak apricots for 4 hours - cream butter and sugar, add well beaten eggs then add sifted flours. Mix well and then roll out as for biscuits. Cut into rounds, place a piece of apricot sprinkled with sugar on each round and cover with another round of the biscuit mixture. Press edges down and cook in a hot oven for 10 mins. Can be iced if preferred and sprinkled with coconut.
