[TM Essentials]

I used to eat this slice growing up and mum used to use raspberry or strawberry jam. That’s the beauty of this easy slice it is so versatile to what you have in the cupboard I had apricot. This recipe has been adapted from Taste.com.au.

I made this, this morning.  So quick and easy and it tastes wonderful.  I couldn't wait for it to cool down before I cut it and had a piece with a cuppa.  I used plum jam in mine. Thanks TME, another great recipe.

I made these at the weekend using some of Chookies yummy blackcurrant jam.  The recipe turned out exactly as I remember from my childhood (at least my memory hasn't started going on me yet ).  They are delicious and I only have four pieces left (after giving some to my neighbour, one of my colleagues and having them for morning tea at work as well).

As JulieO said, quick and easy ... what more could you want!
