I have decided to do a "Julie & Julia" with my mum & nanas recipes - they were both awsome bakers. There is one recipe that we have been unable to find, & I wondered if any of you lovely ladies might be able to help me. It is for a biscuit called matchsticks - they had a biscuity base, and a topping that had egg whites & ground almonds in it. Mum used to cut them into fingers, & they were just divine. I really appreciate any help you can give me - Mrs D

I use a short base for these. 125gr butter 125gr sugar 1 egg 225gr flour 1tsp b/powder
Cream Butter & sugar, add egg & beat. Add flour & b/powder. Knead, roll out fairly thin & cut into shape. Bake 10 -15 mins @160 approx. Remove form oven & top with meringue 1 egg whites 2ozs sugar Beat white until still, fold in sugar & beat. Top cooked shortcake & finalyy chopped nuts. Return to oven & cook until meringue sets.
Enjoy. I love them but haven't baked for awhile,

Thanks jessie - thats just what I was looking for. I've mastered their pav recipe (only took 3 attempts), so this will be next on the list.
