Sheba, have you made any of these yourself and if so can you comment on the particular recipe??

The reason I ask is I am looking for something tried and proven.

Thanks

Cheers B

Sounds wonderful Ma, look forward to it.

Haven't made any of them myself.

Marther Gardner was a Melbourne Radio talk-back show host for around 30 years. All of her recipes and household hunts were tried and tested by hundreds of listeners, for years.

She was the one who had the Original Wool-Mix Recipe. I got that from her years ago.

Would have thought the CWA ones would be good. I know their Ice-cream recipes are.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Never tried Martha's picklets, but use her wool wash to bath my dogs in....... they smell great and the fleas hate it.

Here you go, one from each side of the family, both my great grandmother's recipes

#1- paternal side

4 tablespoons self raising flour

2 tablespoons sugar

pinch of salt

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

grated rind of one lemon

juice of half a lemon

Sift flour and salt, add sugar, then lipuids to dry ingredients, beat well and make into a smooth batter.

Drop from a spoon on to a heated and greased hotplate

These are my favourite and have never failed me yet.

#2 - maternal side

1 cup self raising flour

1/2 teaspoon of carb soda

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1 egg, well beaten

1 cup sour milk (ordinary full cream milk with 1 teaspoon of vinegar will do the job)

1 teaspoon melted butter

Sift flour, measure and add soda and salt and sift again

Combine egg and milk and add to flour gradually stirring constantly.

Beat until smooth

Add melted butter

Bake on hot well greased pan

Sorry about the delay and thanks for reminding me B.
