Hallo M’Dearies,
Valentine’s Day is
fast approaching and so I thought I would share a little recipe my
Granny showed me that you might make for your Hinny. Tis an easy
receipt and will help to use up your day old bread, turning it into
something sweet. This receipt is for Sweethearts, little jam cakes
to enjoy with a nice cup of tea. Here is what you will need to make
these cakes:
Sweethearts
Day old bread
a pastry cutter in
the shape of a heart
your favourite jam
1 egg beaten
a teacupful of
breadcrumbs
the juice of one
lemon
and butter for
frying
Firstly, slice your
bread into ¼ inch thick slices. You will need two slices for each
Sweetheart cake. Take your pastry cutter and cut out one heart
shape, or you may shape them with a knife if you have no pastry
cutter, from each slice of bread. Once you have cut out your desired
amount, spread one heart with jam and place another heart on top.
Once you have assembled your sandwiches, dip them in the egg mixture,
then the bread crumbs and lastly in the lemon juice. Don’t be
tempted to omit the lemon juice, it gives the cakes a lovely little
zing. While you are doing this task you may heat up your skillet.
Melt your butter in the pan and fry each Sweetheart until it is
golden on both sides. To serve the cakes, add a knot of jam or cream
to the top of each and sprinkle a little sugar over the top to make
them look pretty.
This is an easy
recipe to make and enjoy. The scraps of bread leftover from this
receipt will make a lovely bread pudding on another day, or more
breadcrumbs if you desire so there is no waste.
Enjoy your
Valentine’s Day,
Eva Broome
