Now I have made this recipe more times than I can remember, it is very easy to put together. You can have it made and in the oven in about 10 minutes. Once it has cooked I leave it to cool in the tray then ice it.The slice keeps well for at least a week in an airtight container.
The original recipe comes from a Women's Weekly Cookbook - The Big Book of Beautiful Biscuits. It is many years old as I only paid $4.98 for it.
This is the cover of my copy, I think there is a new version out.
