1 warm milk until tepid, dissolve in sugar and mix in yeasy
2 mix in marg/butter and egg
3 add the flour gradually to get a smooth dough. If it is too wet and sticky add more flour ( maybe another 2 spoonfulls)
4 divide the dough into 2 equal lumps and one smaller lump - leave the smallest
5 roll out the two larger lumps and fit into the round sandwich tims ( which have been greased)

For your filling melt the buter/marg and the sugar and vanilla essence. Pour into the 2 tins - be careful the sugar tends to settle so make sure it is evenly distributed. Sprinkle over the sultanas/raisins.

Rol out the remaining pastry and make a "lattice" over the top using long strips. You can either cut them with a decorative cutter or as straight strips and put a twist in them. Cook at gas4/170C (350F) for 20 minutes ( or so)
Stand in the tin a moment before removing to a wire trayyyy. Drizzle with blace icing after cooling (6 tblsps icing sugar + water)

take all the compliments you can get - try to give it away - it is quite calorific!
love and kisses, Jan

Jan, I am going to give this a try ( minus sultanas - Yuk! ) when I get to work on my new cooker ( 2 days to moving...). Will let you know how they turn out, bearing in mind I am not the worlds' best cook!
