Baking quick questions

Just put the sugar bowl on the table and let those that want it sweeter add their own.

I would just run up the hall with my pinny over my head screaming 'woe is me'. Trust me no one will ever mention the missing sugar.

If anyone can remember what these are called I will be pleased to know. I will try to describe, this is I believe a traditional recipe.

The result is like a sliced biscuity, scone type with dried fruit inside.

The process of making is to roll out the dough then cover with butter, sugar and dried fruit, fold over and the cut into slices and bake. They taste lovely and I would love to try and make them again. If only I could remember the name of them!

Any help would be most appreciated

Sprinkle with icing sugar maybe?

Sounds like Eccles or Sly cake (we used to call them fly cakes when we were young).

Jolaaled

it could be 'Fly Cemetery' (we call if 'fly pasty).

Recipe is HERE.

Thanks for comments, Im very new at baking and have really got into all the tips and advise on this lovely site I did think of scooping it all out and mixing it all up with some extra sugar and making a sort of Eaton mess out of it!! It probably will be a mess! But Im determined not to waste it, thanks again!!
