Do let me know if you do, please.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-54377649875016296992013-03-27T16:13:15.984+08:002013-03-27T16:13:15.984+08:00Thanks EC....I am hoping people are not finding my...Thanks EC....I am hoping people are not finding my attempts at A-Z too silly.<br />Health-wise people these days seldom use either lard or copha. I've not made pastry for yonks as we shouldn't really eat it.<br />My mum also made the best in the world chocolate cake which she always said my boyfriends enjoyed which made me wonder was it me or the chocolate cake they wanted!! One thing I could beat her at though was sponge cake. I even won a cooking prize for sponge cake when I was about 14.<br />I too am more a savour person than sweet but I do enjoy jelly. : )Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-44254094047547818252013-03-27T14:59:53.913+08:002013-03-27T14:59:53.913+08:00We called them bellyjeans too! sometimes the kids ...We called them bellyjeans too! sometimes the kids still do and they're in their 30s now. <br />I've never tried Junket it always seemed odd to me having a dessert made with rennet which is used to set cheese curds. I do love jelly though. <br />I use butter for my shortcrust pastry too and my apple pies have the kids coming from all corners of Adelaide. I haven't made one in ages. I might try lard one day, just to see if there is any difference in handling and cooking the pastry and the taste too of course.

I suspect that margerine would NOT have the same effect.<br />I am not really either a jelly or a junket fan. Savoury is always my preference.<br />Another great alphabet post - thanks.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-8750263555025264592013-03-26T18:43:06.590+08:002013-03-26T18:43:06.590+08:00Thanks Delores.
