In her book Gellie The one with the pink cover, cant remember name of it. My friend has it right now or I would be able to tell you!!!

Yes Beanlet - Mary is so good to us! All her recipes work for me and they are so straightforward. Where is the Lemon Merignue Roulade recipe Fordy ? Can't find it on this site.

We're obviously having a lemony weekend, Fordy1, here it was a straightforward victoria sponge but with lemon zest and sandwiched with lemon curd, mmmm... Mary's so good to us!
Haven't actually made that meringue roulade, I'll have to give it a go one of these days.

Haven't made Mary's roulade, Gaye, but I've made one from my Good Housekeeping Chocolate book loads of times. Dead easy and stunningly tasty too. V good the next day when it goes a bit fudgy!

Have you made the Mary Berry chocolate Roulade which she did on the Saturday Kitchen a few weeks ago? So easy (took 10 mins), so successful and so delish!!

This weeks treat was Lemon Meringue Roulade, again Mary Berry and my partner and son say it was to die for...............very tasty I have to say. Wot about you Beany?

Wotcha Fordy1

Absolutely yummy, yes, thanks.

Changed the recipe a bit, to suit lovely husband and Dad who, although loving the caramelly-bit, don't like it too thick.
So, doubled the base quantity (using some cornflour and ground rice in place of some of the flour) and used an 8 inch square tin as well as the swiss-roll-type. Only used 1 tin of condensed milk and bunged in some golden syrup to the caramel.
This is just the way the chaps like it- I s'pose this way they get more shortbread to eat, the crafty things!

What tasty treat are you planning on making next?

Hey Beany
How did the Mary Berry Millionaire Shortbread go then?................bet it was yummmmm!?

Just written out my shopping list, Fordy1, thought I'd let you know that condensed milk is definitely on it!

Yeah buy it Beany coz it sure is the best!!

I haven't made that for ages, Fordy1, thinking about it now reminds me how delicious it really is. I think I'll have to buy some condensed milk pretty soon.

I made Mary Berry Millionaire Shortbread today and it is absolutely fantastic so I am told!. Worth the effort of stirring the condensed milk to required consistency!!

Many thanks for the replies, however these leaves are no good for decoration as they resemble dried mixed herbs, they are crushed so small.

They are also said to be good to combat acne and eczema going by the Internet search I did.

Making tea infusions,coating with choc for decorations.
