Today's Recipe
Mrs Englishman was running a cake stall so last night I had to make a Wiltshire Lardy Cake to bake this morning.
5 lb White Bread Dough
1 Kg White Sugar
1 Kg mixed Dried Fruit
1 Kg Lard
Roll the dough into a 3x1 Rectangle, spread 1/3rd the Lard, sugar and fruit on 2/3rds the surface, fold in on itself so it is a square, rollout and repeat twice so you end up with a many layered cake. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from pan whilst still warm and eat.
Good job the new fat tax hasn't been introduced yet!
Yum - I want to get closer

Mrs Englishman is using kilos in her recipes? Thank God she still uses lard at least.

No no thrice no - it was me what was doing the cooking and I don't use kilos but having made the dough last night apres Pub - ie about 1:00 in the morning, when I got up at six to add the other ingredients I couldn't be arsed to measure out the proper imperial weights and just added whole packets, which curses are in kilos!

Despite hearing my arteries clang shut at the mere thought of all that lard - pass another slice please?
