They involved cooking the apricots and leaving them to cool, then making the oat mixture. The apricots were then sandwiched in between two layers of oats.
Mary says that they make quite substantial, and wholesome bars, and this is true. In fact, if you only cut 8 bars from the mixture (which is what is suggested), they would be very substantial. I ended up cutting 12, but if I made them again, which I might well, I would cut them into 16 squares. The ones in the picture were trimmed to squares as they were too big. We would give them 8.0
This week, it is Tom's birthday. He is going to be 17! We had a chat about what cake he might like, and he has decided to set me the challenge of probably the most complicated recipe in the book - "Gateau Saint Honore". It is three pages long, and Mary says it takes time and skill to make. It involves sweet pastry, choux pastry, creme patissiere, caramel, and spun sugar!!!!!! Help! I only hope it tastes good, but already I have a feeling that it's going to be one of those recipes that has a poor effort to flavour ratio! Still, I don't have anything else to do on Wednesday!!
