Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
* 'self raising flour' is a bit of a British thing... you can replicate it by adding 2 tspns. baking powder to each ( about) 8oz of all purpose flour

This is a slightly sweet almost cake'y pastry which Mum used to use for an apple tart. I don't really like 'pastry ', but love this.
