    INGREDIENTS
    200g Butter - plus extra for the moulds
    200g Caster Sugar
    200g Plain flour
    Zest of 2 lemons
    4 Eggs
    2tbsp Redcurrant Jelly
    115g Finely chopped pistachio nuts
    115g whipping cream
    Candied cherries
    Candied angelica
    METHOD
    Preheat the oven to 180° C. Line your moulds with butter and a little flour. Cream together the butter and flour, whilst adding the lemon zest gradually. Add the eggs one at a time, then gently fold in the flour. Divide the mixture between the moulds. Cover the moulds with tin foil, then bake for 50 minutes until golden. Cool the cakes in the moulds, then turn them out. Trim the tops of the cakes so they are flat. Remove the centre of the cakes using a knife or corer. Warm the redcurrant jelly, then brush this onto the sides of the cakes. Roll these in the pistachio nuts until they are coated. Whip the cream to stiff peaks, then pipe this into each of the cakes. Decorate the cakes with cherries and angelica, then serve.

      RUclips decided to interrupt Mrs Crowcombe with an ad right in the middle of that sentence. So I understood servants instead of sons. And I was so confused as to why a gatekeeper had a lot of servants, and why she had that look on her face. Added by the fact that I watched a movie yesterday where the secretary to a king had an entire village underground to keep women in for his pleasure, I was very worried 🤣

      She is! At least judging interviews and such - a thoroughly delightful person. She's a 'historical interpreter', if I remember the term correctly. So, strictly speaking, not quite the same as an actress - since she doesn't play random roles in movies/tv shows or such. Her specialty is impersonating historical figures not just in front of a camera, but also on historical sites like Audley End House or on reenactment festivals and such, staying 'in character', while interacting with visitors.
