This is a great easy recipe! I've been looking for quick slices that i can make while my baby is asleep and this one is fab. I used apricot jam instead of rasberry and it turned out delicious. My husband took most of the first batch in his lunch the next day and so i had to make more!!!

These are a great slice for any occasion. The only thing i think that would add that lil something to this wonder recipe is if it was drizzled in warm jam. Just zig zagged across the top after its cool would really finish it off. Thanks for this wonderful new favourite.
