Fruit Slice

My mother attended the ladies weekly church group named the Ladies Homemakers and each week a different member would bring along her favourite recipe to share and bring each member a copy of that recipe. This was called Feature Recipe. A lot of the recipes I will be sharing with you come from that group of lovely ladies. This one is quick and easy to make and tastes yummy.

PREPARATION:
2 cups SR flour
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup mixed fruit
125 grams butter
1 cup milk

Combine flour, sugar and butter. Mix until like breadcrumbs. Spread half the mixture into a lamington tin. Mix together the milk, egg and baking powder. Add to remaining mixture with the fruit. Pour on top of the base and bake at 350 to 375 degrees for approx 30 minutes. Ice with coffee icing.

Coffee Icing:
