Title: Old English Matrimonials
Post by: trudy on September 20, 2013, 06:40:19 am
I found this recipe in an old copy of the New Idea.  It only took seconds to make in the TM.  It's a buttery tasting slice.


Old English Matrimonials

1 & 1/2 cups self raising flour
185g cold butter, chopped
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup jam


1.  Lightly grease & line a slice tin approx 19x30cm
2.  Place into TM:-
     Flour, butter, coconut, brown sugar & oats
3.  Combine approx 5 secs/speed 6 - till mixture resembles breadcrumbs
4.  Tip half of the mixture into the slice tin and press with the back of a spoon till smooth and firm.  Top with jam
     Place the rest of the mixture on top of jam and press gently with back of spoon to smooth the surface.
5.  Bake approx 30 minutes or till golden brown.  Cool completely in tin before slicing.  You can sprinkle with icing
     sugar before serving if you wish.

If this is as nice as your other recipes Trudy, it's a winner for sure.  So easy.

These sound familiar. I think perhaps Mum used to make them. They seem ever so easy, thanks Trudy.
