Marshmallow shortcake freezes beautifully too, and is rather nice even, eaten straight from the freezer :-)

Ummm.. ok Bisloy.. I'll admit to a small sample on occasion, or two.. maybe three!
It's great to be able to freeze Marshmallow shortcake for a special occasion - take it out on the morning of the event, place on pretty plates and cover with plastic wrap.. decorate if you wish.. and forget about it until ready to serve..

You just sprinkle the gelatine over cold water, leave it to soak for 10 minutes then boil for 8 min with 1 cup sugar (as above).

Here's the recipe from the 1972 edition of the Edmonds cookbook.It has a choice of fillings. The second one uses jelly.
Cream butter abnd sugar, add essence. Add egg, then sifted dry ingredients. Roll on greasproof paper to about 1/2 in thick. Place on cold tray and bake 30 mins at 350 F
Soften the gelatine in cold water, add sugar and boil 8 mins.Cool. Beat white of egg stiff, fold in icig sugar, then slowly pour in cooled gelatine. Beat until white and thick (about 3 mins). Spread on shortcake immediately. Ice with chocolate icing and sprinkle with walnuts.
Filling (2) Soak 1 packet of Edmonds Lemon or Raspberry Jelly Crystals in 1 1/2 cups cold water for 10 mins and boil exactly 8 mins without stirring. Leave till slightly cool, add 1 cup icing sugar and beat till stiff.Spread on Shortcake mixture and sprinkle with coconut, or ice with chocolate icing and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
