Cheesecake and Mum

The children requested sour cream cake for the forthcoming festival. This was made to a recipe that my much-missed mum used to make. She had taken the recipe from her friend Mavis (also now departed).

I opened my battered recipe book and there was mum’s writing on a piece of paper I had stuck in the book. My heart ached.

  1. I feel the same. The one where they used to let the milk drip in a muslin bag and make the cake from the rich sour cheese, with a soft sweet pastry base? They don’t do ’em like that nowadays!

  2. How very true Gillian! My grandfather’s and father’s recipes have another taste when I read the recipe with their handwriting 😭🥰Envoyé de mon mobile
