When I read a readers memory in the comments on one of my social channels, I immediately become curious, imagining not only the shared scenario but also what that recipe tasted like!

I loved this comment left by “Kirsten Jordan” on how her Mum continued to make “Floury Cakes” as she had fond memories of eating these. “Her Great Aunt would make them for her when she came home from school, wartime rural Yorkshire.”

Following the memory/recipe in the comment below I tried these and they were absolutely delicious! These are super quick to make too and take no time at all to whip up if you have run out of bread! I have made these several times since and they are now a firm favourite with me when I crave some bready comfort!

I will be including some readers wartime recipes in my cook book going to print later this summer and “Floury Cakes” will definitely be one of them!

Much love, C xxxx
