so its tuesday and I went to the cookie jar to find it empty………which can only mean one thing….retro daddy found them last night! So I got out my CWA cookbook and found an easy new cookie recipe to try….raspberry rings! The best thing about this cookbook is that it uses ingredients you are guaranteed to have at your house which is important when you can’t just pop out for something!
Raspberry Rings
1 1/2 cups sifted plain flour
1tsp baking powder (recipe says 1/2 tsp bicarb 1tsp cream of tartar)
1/2 cup sugar
2Tbsp butter
1 egg beaten
milk
raspberry jam
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and rub in butter. Combine egg and enough milk to make a stiff dough. Roll into flat sheet and spread with raspberry jam. Roll tightly and cut into 1cm pieces. Place on lined baking tray and bake in 180 degree oven until nicely brown. Delicious!
Perfect! I have a bored little nearly 3 year old here who would love to make those!! Thanks.
Corrie … you are single handedly contributing to my ever increasing waistline!!
These look yum!!

I heard about the new CWA cookbook, what a gorgeous cover!
Nice one – thanks! You might like the strawberry tart recipe I posted this morning – super simple and yum!
Yum, yum, yum – would be good to get the kids helping with the spreading of jam!! Might have to try these later this week.
genius. getting on them tonight. mmmm.
Yummo – they look great – might have to give them a go – would be good for the trip north:) I think that I have an old copy of this book:)
I’ve seen this cookbook pop up at a few blogs and it’s getting more and more tempting to add to my Christmas list.
They look great I must give them a try.
Yummo Corrie! And it looks as if the CWA cook book has had a revamp too. BTW new fabric due soon?? lol! xox
OOOh. Raspberry rings. Thanks for the recipe. I am going to make some tomorrow!
Our cookie jar is empty, my kids would love these too. I must try them, we have made several batches of your one cup choc chip biscuits. Thanks so much for sharing!
Sounds yummy! Oven will be used for dinner tonight so perhaps some biscuits are in order.
I have a very, very old copy of the CWA cookbook. It’s unfortunately packed away just now, but talks of clear fires, slow fires etc. It has a page of home remedies in the back. For toothache it suggests putting a threepenny piece on either side of offending tooth and letting them touch at the top. An apparent electric current will cure the tooth.
A cure for diarrhea is an absolute classic. A medicine glass of whisky or brandy mixed with some opium.
One glass of this every time needed for several hours, then a glass an hour. I reckon that after all that drugging, who would know or care what was wrong!
AArgh! That book has been packed away too long. I just realised it’s the Presbyterian Women’s Cookbook and is much older than seventy years.
Yum, I made these today! The kids love them, thanks Corrie
These look delicious Corrie…. will have to get Master 7 onto those! Thanks
that’s a beautiful copy of the CWA cookbook you have there. I have a copy of a Bundaberg CWA cookbook that my Mum picked for me a few years back, it looks nothing like that one! I know what you mean about them though, I just love mine.
They look delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe, Corrie
Oh please stop with all the sharing of yummy bikkie recipes – I’m gonna be as big as a house soon LOL 😉
This one will definately be tested in the next few days!
Thanks!definitely want to give these a go. They sound easy and yum. baked goodies disappear around here very fast….
Corrie once again you just amaze me… you’re so amazing.. i will have to try these!
oh delicious, i only have one jam lover in the house, might make a special batch just for her, love Posie
My daughter made these today….. Yummo! Thanks so much for the recipe Corrie.
