Mother in Law’s recipes are great – these ladies who cooked on wood stoves (and my MIL still does) and fed the hungry hoards (my MIL had 10 little ones to feed) really knew what they were doing.
We “modern” homemakers can learn so much from their ways. This corn flake slice recipe is from my Mum in law 🙂
Another aspect of older recipes that I love is they were built around ingredients every Aussie housewife would have in the pantry – no special shopping trip for fancy ingredients.
You may not have Corn Flakes in your pantry but they are readily available and one of the more affordable cereals.
