BLUEBERRY BANANA SURPRISE

Steps:

• For crust: mix graham crackers crumbs, melted margarine and 1/4 cup sugar in a 9x13 glass pan. Press into the bottom of the pan to make a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while making the topping. (Note: You may need to add a little more melted margarine if the crumbs appear to be too dry, however, you don't want the crust to be greasy.).
• In a deep bowl, mix cream cheese, Dream Whip, milk and 1/2 cup sugar with a hand mixer until smooth.
• Pour cream cheese mixture over crust.
• Slice bananas in 1/4 inch slices and cover cream cheese mixture. (You may need more than 3 bananas if they are small.).
• Pour blueberry pie filling over bananas and spread evenly.
• Chill until ready to serve.

BANBURY CAKES

Steps:

• Cream the butter and honey together with the spices. Add the currants and the candied peel and mix well. On a lightly floured surface roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin and cut out 10 x 10cm circles, re-rolling any trimmings. Divide the filling between the circles.
• Bring up the edges of the pastry to enclose the filling and crimp the edges of the pastry together to look like little purses. Turn the parcels over, with the folds underneath. Roll each parcel out gently to an oval shape, taking care not to expose the filling.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Place the cakes on a baking sheet lined with non-stick paper. Brush with the egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Cook for 25-30 mins until cooked and crispy. Turn the oven down if the tops brown too quickly.
• When cooked, transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool a little before eating. When cold, they're excellent spread with a little salted butter.
