Wow! I'm guessing it must have changed the taste quite a bit. I love hearing the history of these recipes. It's so important not to lose these references!

She married in the 1930s when butter was a luxury. I made it regularly when my children were little, it tasted fine. I pressed it into balls with damp hands instead of putting it in a tray. I must make some again.

Oh yes! Who doesn't love chocolate cornflake cakes? Well even if not everyone does, I certainly do. Never heard them called cracknel before though. But it's a good name for them.

This is funny, I was just thinking about cracknels the other day - they were indeed a secondary school staple but ours were always round and the size of a cricket ball. I was trying to work out how to make them ball shaped but a traybake version makes far more sense!!!
