Comments
Why the mystery? The ingredients are not that surprising, and frankly this is a rather pedestrian looking wee slice, but “don't judge a book by its cover” is true of this slice. It is very very easy, and very delicious too. This is a family favourite.
Thanks to Ettrick Gardens for providing the walnuts used in the demonstration.
