    Made this last night and it is lovely, thought id overcooked it as the top was crunchy but looking at other peoples comments, it was supposed to be like that.

    I made this for my father in law's birthday and it went down a treat with both young and old. I thought I left in in the oven too long as it was quite crunchy on the outside but I believe this is the way that it's supposed be. It was also really simple to make. Definitely one to keep.
