Melting Moments..for Nariz....

Added to my favs, used to make this for my sons so now I can make them for my grand daughters. Thank you.

You're welcome,Granny b..:o))

gone on to my Favs Bloomer, love your cookery book, well used,

Me too..will try these yum!

Thanks Yorkshire..the book has even caught fire round the edges,before now..but still lives on :o)..just gave it a little trim.Lol.

lolol

Am I getting you in baking mode again,Pixi ? these are lovely..very moreish ! :o)..just need to edit the blog..forgot a bit !

Well yeah! lol not today im tired out with cleaning hahaha...just one more fag..lol

I was given a 'Be-Ro' book by an old friend, its brown & cream, in pounds & ounces And pounds & pence, 21st edition but sadly no date, my current copy is all colour and 39th edition!

I have a feeling that mine had a blue and cream cover,Pam.Wish I still had the price and date on it.
I also have a McDougal's paper back cookery book,( remember that flour ?) that belonged to my late Aunt..but I have never used recipes from it.I must seek it out..it's packed away in a box somewhere,and that is intact..Not as well used as mine,but she didn't do much,as I remember..

For all of you that have already seen this,and added it to your Favourites,I have just added a PS...saying that two baking sheets would be better,as they do spread out a bit..sorry for that,but you may not go back to look at it again..although it doesn't state it on the recipe..

I didn't know that thed produced a book Bloomer...

Bet you cant buy Be-Ro flour now!!!!! Lol. Thanks for the recipe.

Thasts the flour I use all the time for everything :)

I buy Be-Ro too

i love melting moments ~ had to make them at school!

far too sweet for me..but great blog

Well,everyone..I decided to do a test run,and made some after tea..and the camera can lie..!! They look really nice,but so small,and nowhere near as big as they look in the recipe book!I shall need at least 3 or 4 to eat with my cuppa..they don't spread much at all,and I followed the recipe exactly.If I make them,again,I shall make the balls bigger,and maybe about 15 instead of 20.. you are now forewarned, so you know what to expect...Shall I post a pic,before we eat them ?

Hmm Bloomer, are you leading us up the garden path with your sizes..I think you should sent a pic, then we shall see who's a bit of a piggy or if they are small. LOL

Not at all,Granny b..I tell it like it is..but I will show you how big they are..not much bigger than a50p piece! :o)
I will take one now..hang on a mo.!

Done...on pics! :o)

I used to make these when the family were chidren, they never had time to even get cold, now I`m hungry....

Shame you don't live nearer ,Linclass,I would bring you some..were yours small too,or did you just make less than the 20,it states,from the same amount of mixture?Maybe yours were from a different recipe book..

Id make big ones! might do some tomorrow! :)

Thanks Bloomer! Guess what I'll be doing today!

you are welcome Nariz..happy baking..let me know how yours turn out..hope they are a bit bigger than mine are..!

Oooh going to bake these with oats...lower my cholesterol lol:-)

Maybe add some C.......?

C........? eh Pixie??? Bloomer your tatty old book is being sold on Amazon for £35! :-)

I hadn't any oats left..the birds ate it! so dipped mine in coconut..but oats is good!think that is the *C* Pixi meant !Lol....I can't believe the recipe book is selling for that..
Perumably in better condition than mine....I wouldn't be tempted though..sentimental value.:o)..might have a look at the" Mcdougall "lone though..not ever looked on these sites,so not sure how you go about it...

If you are interested in a book...just google it..Amazon is sure to be one of the first offering it, they are so easy to buy from, but I won't be paying £35! :-) Still don't get how adding c.......means oats Bloomer lol...Pixi where are? What is the secret ingredient? Eight letters beginning with c??? Spit it out girl:-)

no i didnt mean coconut! ha!

Erm...caraways?....cucumber?:-)

LOL no!!

I give up:-)

i googled the be-ro book too, im sure some of them were selling for even more than that!

currents? chocolate?

curry powder?

hah! no..cant really say ...

Cardamom? Chestnuts? Caramels? Cognaaac? Oooh! Pixi! You naughty girl! I think I may have guessed it! Child of the Sixties?

Just found the recipe book that we wrote in for cookery lessons when i was 11 !!
the recipe for melting moments is similar

2½ oz lard
1½ oz margarine
3 oz caster sugar
½ egg
5 oz self raising flour
Few drops vanilla essence
1 oz oats or coconut or cornflakes

Pre-heat the oven to gas 4/350 F
Beat the lard, margarine and sugar in a bowl until creamed
Beat in the egg and vanilla essence
Stir in the flour and mix thoroughly
Roll into balls about the size of walnuts
Place on a greased tray with enough room to spread
Sprinkle the oats/coconut/cornflakes onto the balls and put in the oven for 15 – 20 mins.
Take out and decorate with cherries when cool
Makes 12 - 15

OK, where do I find half a chicken to lay half an egg? Glad I didn't bother to keep my old school 'Domestic Science' book! Does Soused Herrings float anyone's boat? Yuk! Not that I'm against fish - love it! But Soused Herrings!!!!!!!!!

no cant say i fancy that.

make 2 lots of melting moments then you can use a whole egg from a whole chicken??

Don't fancy that fat content Sticki..all that lard?

im not sure why ~ perhaps economy?? probably a war time recipe ~ i wasnt around then, i hasten to add but perhaps the teacher was!!! Miss Cressbrooke!!! Im sure she was 7 foot tall.

lol Im saying nothing! hahaha

I thnk your teacher would have made a good Basket ball player,Sticki...Lol...
..and Pixi...no don't !..:o))

Im not going to comment on anything..!

I can't believe that,Pixi..!..aw,bless we are only teasing..
We would miss all the Lololol.ing,and :o))).Take no notice of Ba,she is a very good stirrer..not only of cakes! :o)

gosh! I've just googled bero books and I 'm amazed the sepia one £35 and even the 39th ed £13 odd, who'd have thought it!!
I'm not sellin.....

Lol you like my lolls do you?

Yes - now we know WHY you lol! ;o)

im sorry to say bloomer that the teacher wore very thick glasses and was probably a bit short sighted so she could have reached the net but maybe not seen the ball??

hhaha! I loll anyway!

Oh that BeRo book - I still have mine, and somewhere I think I still have my mother's. I don't think anybody would give even 50p for them as they have seen a lot of life. Our kids used to like the coffee kisses too. (So did I...)

my OH saw that recipe Steragram...directly below the M .moments!...I have never tried them..

Thanks for that my hubby will love them. At least you have a Be-Ro book I lent mine to my Daughter in law and she has kept it!!!!

Not daft,is she ? Lol..
