Frenlite cookery book

4 oz. Caster Sugar 1 tablespoon Hot Water 1 oz. Butter or Margarine Put the eggs and sugar into a basin and whisk until thick and creamy in texture. This is more quickly done if you stand the basin over a pan of boiling water—but do be careful to keep the egg mixture from getting too hot and so setting in the basin. If you do use the hot water method continue whisking away from the heat until quite cool again. Fold in the ‘“‘Frenlite’”’ Flour, then melted butter and hot water. Pour the mixture into a large Swiss roll tin lined with greased and floured paper. Bake for approximately 7 minutes near the top of a really hot oven—Mark 8 or 9 or 475 to 500°F. The sponge is cooked when it feels firm to the touch. Turn out on to a sugared paper. Put a piece of greaseproof paper on top of the sponge and roll firmly. Leave until cold. When quite cold, unroll and fill and decorate with the following mixture :— Chestnut Chocolate Cream Cream together 3 oz. butter or margarine and 3 oz. sieved icing sugar. Work in 1 level tablespoon chocolate powder, a few drops of vanilla essence and approximately 4 teacup sieved chestnut pulp. Add just enough coffee essence or strong coffee to make a soft consistency—or you may like to add a little cream instead. Use half of this inside the sponge, then roll firmly. Coat with the rest of the mixture and, with the help of a skewer, mark “lines” in tree-trunk fashion. Decorate with a tiny sprig of holly—a robin—and a dusting of sieved icing sugar to look like snow. If preferred, an ordinary chocolate butter or coffee icing could be substituted for the chestnut cream filling, but this makes a complete change of flavour.
