Today we had some friends and their two daughters round for tea and cake. I am known amongst my circle of friends for my Lemon Cake so that was baked yesterday and we had some butter biscuits left from Thursday so I thought I needed one more delicacy. I have been reading Jane Brocket's book The Art of Domesticity and decided I would make some flap jacks from her recipe.
The butter, sugar and syrup looked lovely as it all melted together and I have to say we ate them still gooey and slightly warm with lots of licking of fingers. My usual star the lemon cake took a back seat this time I am afraid.
It was lovely to relax and chat and catch up while the girls played outside with occasional visits to see Lucy who was sleeping in the warm airing cupboard!
