Christmas Sherry Trifle.
Enjoy.
Easy way for the non bakers.
Anyone who can bake.
Use 3 eggs
3 oz C.sugar.
3 oz. S.R. Flour for sponge.
CUSTARD.
I pt fresh milk.
2 tablespoons of custard powder.
2 tab sugar.

Recipe NOT in any of the books...

This Trifle was made this way to help those who CAN'T BAKE or DON'T HAVE the equipment to bake an easier way of doing their own Trifle.
So no need for judgement
If you don't like just scroll on.
Not everyone has the finances to buy baking equipment.
So be kind.
Remember negative comments says more about you than me.

BOOK 1 ONLY A HANDFUL LEFT.👍

Just to let you all know that my stock of Book 1 is getting extremely low.
And I mean low.
I will have to limit the 3 for 2 deal customers to 1 of Book 1.

So I will have to stop the 3 for 2 book deal in a few days time.
Then it will be only Book 2 ( single sales).
Or.
3 x Book 2 Book deal ( Book 2 only).

So if you want to order Book 1 or the Book Deal you had better do it over the next few days.

I won't be ordering more Book 1.
Publishing has got too expensive and I would have to order too many to make it pay, I would be left with them for too long.
So that will be the end of Book 1.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Catherine.
P.S.
The people who asked me to put Book 1 to one's side, I have them for you.

For Book orders please message me in Messenger or Whattsapp at the top of the page and I will send details.
TRIFLE VIDEO WILL BE POSTED UP TOMORROW THURSDAY.
