three fruit slice.
thicken with cornflour 1 small can of peaches and juice, fill the can upwith stewed apples, & add to the pot, fill the can up with stewed rhubarb, & add to the pot. while that is cooling, paint a swiss roll pan with, tin glide, post 20, in here. line the pan with sweet paste,, post 20, in here. I always have some in the freezer. When you use this pastry from the freezer, thaw, knead, roll and use as you would if it was fresh. It handles way better having been frozen. fill with cold fruit top with a sheet of sweet paste, prick all over with a fork. Milk the top if you wish, it is not necessary though as the natural colour is a very good guide of when it is well cooked, bake 20/30 minutesand nicely browned.at 175% C

200grams of grated cheese, 1/2 a medium onion very finely chopped, 1 egg, 100 grams of melted butter, 1 and 1/2 cups of milk, may need a little more
Sift all the dry ingredients, melt the butter, beat the egg in a measuring jug, add the melted butter, then milk to make up to 2 cups of liquid add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients , mix lightly, adding more milk so the mixture is not crumbly at all, I tip my scones straight out onto a floured baking tray.
