Nutmeg Slice

 

*Tried and Tested*

Now this recipe I got from my ex mother in law.  She made it once while we were visiting and I loved it so much I had to have the recipe.  I've made it a couple of times but when I moved from Toowoomba to Brisbane all those years ago, I somehow lost the recipe.  I've been looking and looking...going through all my cookbooks and I could not find that little scrap of paper with it written on.  And no, I was NOT going to ring my ex....noooooo.  So I just gave up on it until a couple of months ago I was cleaning out some old boxes and lo and behold...there it was!  I was most delighted to find it.

Anyway...tried and true recipe and pretty much fail proof as well.  I do believe it is an Armenian Slice...so a little bit of culture with your cuppa! :)
