The last day of August

So it's now just 19 days till I fly to the UK!


Today I found a recipe that I used to make quite often and it has been missing, despite me searching everywhere.
It turned up in the little book where I handwrite recipes which I use all the time!

It's an old favourite!  I use a biscuit forcer to make a nice oval shaped biscuit.
