This is another of Mum’s finds in the Woman’s Day. To be honest I can’t imagine her ever buying and using a packet of cake mix, she’d have made the cake from scratch. She made cupcakes and butterfly cakes that way so I’m sure she’d have done the same for these.
Today these filled bread cases would be great to serve up as finger food with drinks, but Mum would have made them as a supper snack. They demonstrate the way entertaining changed over the years. Mum and Dad would rarely have people over for a sit down dinner. Most people ate quite early, so friends were invited after dinner for drinks or maybe cards and Mum would serve up a hearty supper. By the 1990s things were changing for my generation, but it was still popular for Mum and Dad to entertain that way.
While on the dessert theme, I thought I’d add this one. It’s another of Mum’s great standbys. I can’t count the number of times she made it or I’ve eaten it. I can still see it in the bowl she always served it in. A family classic.
Lemon chicken is something of a classic chicken recipe and this is a version that Mum cut out from the Herald Sun. Twice frying the chicken makes it lovely and crunchy and topped with the sauce the whole thing is delicious.
