   A collection of hand-written Recipes which my Mum, Mabel Mary pictured here in 1924, assembled and used throughout World WarTwo  whenever the ingredients were available.  I shall choose one or two each month, at random, for you to try. Happy Cooking,   and don't blame me if it all goes wrong !

   November                              Recipe of the Month            

ALMOND CHEESE CAKES 
     1 breakfast cup of Ground Rice         1 Egg
     1 breakfast cup of Castor Sugar         1 Large teaspoonful Almond      1oz. Butter                                             Essence

      Melt the Butter, beat in the Sugar, then the Egg : next add the Rice and then the Essence. Line some patty pans with pastry and fill in (not too full) with the mixture. For a change put the juice of a lemon in the place of the Almond essence and you would have Lemon Cheese Cakes.

 "AUSSIE" FINGERS

     4 ozs. Quaker Oats                            2 ozs. Margarine

     2½ ozs Castor Sugar                          A pinch of Salt

Cream the Margarine and Sugar together, stir in the Salt and Oats. Spread in a thin layer on a very well greased tin ans cook from 20 to 30 minutes in a moderate oven. When the mixture has slightly cooled, divide into fingers with a knife, but do not attempt to take it out of the tinuntil quite cold. These delicious fingers should be eaten the day they are made
