make the most yummy slice, it was like strawberry or apple shortcake but with a spicy sultana filling.I remember her cooking up the sultana's first and letting them go cold.I have looked everywhere but can't find anything like it.If any one out there has the recipe or can tell me a cook book it is in I would really appreciate it.

thanks so much lisapisa, I will try this.I'm guessing the capital T is for tablespoon and the small t is for teaspoon.

Do you mean like what I always called a fly cemetery! It is in the old Edmonds book:Fruit squares. If you need the recipe reply andI will try to scan for you. (My old Edmonds book has seen better days but I won't part with it.)

This is a fabulous recipe - I think I found it in a Little Treasures magazine years ago.Now, I always dice up a couple of apples and cook them up with the sultanas.The slice is not quite so rich but a little more fruity and moist.It is lovely warm with custard and/or cream.

I have a old but good recipe, wonder if this is what you are after. Sultana Slice Shortcake mix: 4oz (125g) butter,1 tsp baking powder 4oz (125g) sugar ,,1 egg 8oz (250g) flour Cream butter and sugar, add egg, then sifted flour and baking powder.Halve mixture, press 1/2 into swiss roll tin, roll out other half on baking paper, ready to put over filling (alternatively this 1/2 can be crumbled over filling if you want.) Filling 1c sultana's,1tsp mixed spice 1/2 c sugar ,2Tbsp cornflour 2 oz (50g) butter ,1 1/2 cups hot water Place all ingredients into a saucepan and on a med heat, bring to the boil, mixture will thicken (it pays to watch mix and stir to prevent burning). Allow to cool.Pour over base and cover with other half.Bake in a mod (180C) oven for about 20mins till top is a nice pale golden colour.Sprinkle with icing sugar when cool.Enjoy!

I'm so pleased I found this site! I've lost my Little Treasures copy, and loved the recipes that were in that issue.
