My mother made these and everyone in the family still loves them. I am 70 now and making them today for my husband. Never have changed anything. Its quick, simple and delicious. I am so pleased to see this recipe here because I've only seen it in my mother's personal cookbook.

I made these for the DS to take to his music recreation group were they were enjoyed. I used butter for the shortening and used a 10 x 10 pan and baked at 175C fan forced oven for 25 minutes., left the slice whole for it to be cut into the sizes they wanted at the recreation group. Thank you Julie B's Hive., made for Swap #37 February 2010.
