Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories - 18 December - Christmas Baking
Thomas MacEntee of Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories says: In addition to Christmas cookies, many families prepared special, once a year treats to share with others. Popcorn balls? Fudge? Caramel corn? What do you remember about these dishes and the activity of making them? Share recipes if you have them or just share your memories of making Christmastime foods. Tell us about your special Christmas foods and your memories of Christmases past. Baking. I should do it more. Now you think I'm going to tell you that we used to make Fat Rascals every year for Christmas. We didn't. I've made them once in my life - for a Welsh friend because it was Wales Day or some such and I thought I'd make a gesture to her Welsh-ness. I'm only putting a picture of them here because I needed a picture of baking. Pretty aren't they? If you want a recipe, google it, like I did. I can't remember what recipe I used to be honest. Sorry about that....
