there 's a whole study to be made about the ability of pins to drop
unnoticed .

[lace] cakes for lace days

2005-11-14 Thread bevw
Hi everyone,

Leonard's Dundee cake with added vitamins (teehee) sent me to find a
recipe. Is it like this one?

http://www.scotlandforvisitors.com/dundeecake.php

I'm thinking this might be fun to take to the Christmas meeting of my
group - if I could find a source for 2 tblsp. of whisky. If I bought a
bottle, I'd have to take that to lace day, too (heetee) .

The subject of cakes reminds me that we're coming up to Cattern's Day,
Nov. 25, in tradition, the lacemakers' annual holiday
I haven't yet hit upon the right formula for converting the UK
measurements and types of ingredients to NA - that is to say the
Cattern Cakes always come out different. But maybe they're better that
way:

9 oz/ 275 g. self-raising flour (I use NA white flour and add 1 or 2
tsp. baking powder)
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 oz./25 g. currants
2 0z./50 g. ground almonds
2 tsp. caraway seeds
7 oz/200 g. caster sugar (I use NA granulated white sugar)
4 oz./100 g. melted butter
1 egg beaten

Mix dry; mix wet; add wet to dry. Flatten to a rectangle 12 x 10
inches, sprinkle with extra cinnamon and sugar, roll up and cut into
slices. Place slices well apart on a greased cookie sheet, bake 10
min. at 400 deg. F.

Sounds as if the Gloucester Lace Group (which has been in existence for
years!) need to get out and demonstrate more :-)
