He is a clever DS. It is wonderful that he even wants to try.

That's so true, cookie. I am thankful that he offered to cook. He wanted to make lemon meringue pie from the EDC...and I said "are you sure?" That has 2 components that I've not even tried making before: meringue and shortcrust. That's when I suggested Chookie's lovely teacake :)

Looks good BZB, my DS use to love cooking at that age, he does occasionally cook something and it's always great.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

I thought mine was going to be a disaster as the pastry was very very sticky - large egg. But, it was fine. I got sick of trying to get the bits off my fingers and onto the top, so it's not completely covered. I used spelt flour and rapadura sugar, so it looks darker, but it's yummy.

I think I'd leave the egg out of the pastry next time. I have a similar recipe for apple streusel slice and there's no egg in that pastry. I also added the lemon zest to the filling. ;)
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

MJ,  I just add a bit more flour to the bit of mix left for the topping.

Yes, I read that later. I must have printed the recipe off very early in the piece!! I'll do that next time.
