Lately I find myself wondering about how our grandparents baked. What kind of stuff did they bake? How did they manage without a weighing scales? A fist of this and a fist of that is the answer I get when I ask. After being given a wonderful present of cooking apples I wanted to try something new. So here it is.....
Ingredients
3 Cups Plain flour
2 Tsp Baking powder
1/8 Tsp of salt
4 oz Butter
3/4 Cup of sugar
4 Cooking apples
2 eggs
1/4 cup of milk
2 Tbsp of sugar to sprinkle.
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Grease a 9 inch round cake tin.
2. Get an enormous bowl and sift in the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix thoroughly.
3. Slice the butter fairly thick and rub the flour mix and butter together until you either drop or breadcrumbs appear.
4.Add the sugar and mix.
5. Slice the apples into quaters of course making sure they are peeled.
6. Beat the eggs and milk and add to the apples and flour. Mix.
7. Pour the mixture into the baking pan and flatten the top. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 50 minutes.
