Sounds very like something my grandma used to make - they were delicious but I don't remember her name for them.

You could well be right Rowan, I have never had a recipe for them as Mum showed me how to make them when I was still at school, have made them ever since, my kids and Grankids all like them.

I like the look of those dita. I'm gonna give them a try. I'll report back when I do.
