Birthday Party - The Second Coming

[wiseheart]

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

They look very tasty! I like the ones with jam especially

solanpolarn explained:

They are really simple to make as well, with only four ingredients:
flour, sugar, butter/margarine and jam. The recipe is actually from a
children's baking book we had when I was little. The trick, which I
rarely manage, is to not put too much jam in. However, if you do I find
you can peel the over-flowing jam off the baking sheet and fold it back
into the middle once everything has cooled down a little.

Inspired by the sight, badly_knitted relived some childhood memories:

I've always loved the stickiness of cooked jam in biscuits. We made some
in a cookery lesson at school, forever ago, and I ate most of them before
I got home. Then the cat ate the jam off half the jam tart I'd made.

And solanpolarn agreed about the jam:

There is something very attractive about baked jam, I agree! It is
actually sometimes better when it has overflown the biscuits and created
a thin layer on the baking sheet. One has to be careful though so that it
doesn't get burnt, because that is just a waste of good jam. ;-)

True, there can be a fine line between perfectly cooked and overdone.
