These are light, tender and so easy. I work with a bunch of U.K people and one of them was kind enough to share this recipe with me because I kept on complaining how difficult it is to make good scones. You can add currants, other dried fruit, citrus zest, nuts, etc. – just stir it into the flour mixture before you add the cream. I personally love them with dried cranberries and orange zest.
A wonderul spiced & fruited cake which heralds the advent of Spring. I used to make one for my Mum every year, when I lived in England! Traditionally made to mark Mothering Sunday, this cake is also known as an Easter Cake; Simnel cake has a fascinating cultural heritage with roots that stretch back to the Romans and Athenians. In Britain, known as the Shrewsbury Simnel, it is simply made using white flour, fragrant spices and is generously studded with dried fruits and pungent peel. Like a Christmas cake, it is covered with pale sweet almond paste. The decoration is plain – eleven little balls of smooth paste which represent the apostles (omitting Judas). A specially baked simnel cake is a wonderful gift to take to your mother, for Mothering Sunday Tea Time. Decorate it with crystalised flowers and tie some yellow ribbon around the side.
this is a recipe from Leeds England, when I make this the custard part turns out different at times, I think it depends on the juices from the apples used. yes everything sort of comes out of the apple, and goes into the juices which sort of combines with the custard.

Found for the World Tour 2005 – yet *another* version of Bread & Butter Pudding!! “Very fattening but lovely, and warming too on a cold winter night.” He he. I have not made this *yet* so I guesstimated at some of the proportions (butter, brown sugar & fruit) – please adjust to taste.
