Crispy, melt in the mouth pastry and not too sweet apple filling.

The Bloke served some for dinner the other night, supermarket bought but not cheap, I asked what sort they were and he said "well, meat I suppose!". They tasted like very cheap mince, no real flavour. (hope he's not reading this)
Can't wait for October and all those lovely ones from the farm shop

Re: British classic food dishes
Ok you asked for it... this is an easy totally foolproof recipe...
I've posted this Yorkshire pud recipe before, it really does work.. every time!
You need equal measures of:
Egg
Plain Flour
Liquid (milk or water or mixture of both)
+ season to taste
I use a ramikin dish to measure all the ingredients, do the egg first... and take note of the line which 1 or 2 eggs reaches, (depending on how many yorkshires you need!!) then milk, flour last... )
Mix all the above together and leave to stand.. this can be as long as you like..
heat baking tray until fat is sizzling, you can use fat from the roasting meat/oil/lard .. but make sure there is enough to start cooking the yorkshires...
Spoon mixture into sizzling tray, put plenty in each one, leave about 2/3mm from top if tin
Bake for about 20 minutes in a hot oven until golden and crisp... do not open oven too early.. they will flop!!!
Good luck
Julie

As I am now back here in the UK for a little while longer, this thread got me thinking.
What food do I miss in Australia? Well obviously all the seafoods, prawns, oysters, yabbies, etc etc. But just thinking about it, what I could eat right this minute is a good old NSW State Rail Meat Pie !! Yum !!!

. Tried some Moreton Bay bugs in Broadbeach last year, they were lovely. Can't wait to try them again when we get over there. The kids all liked them too so I had to share

If you're feeling lazy, add a couple of sp. sugar for Apple Pie topping, or some rolled oats and dessicated coconut, omit the water, just sprinkle on top of whatever fruit you like for instant Crumble - a couple of sp. of brown sugar on top of that and you have a perfect crunchy topping.
And I like my dumplings crunchy, so instead of putting them in the stew, I pile Sp.fuls on an oven tray, like Rock Cakes, and bake them in a hot oven.
