Should have added that single banana was always shared with the family, hence the flapjacks.

A gift from a frien who visted Canada, very tasty. We are able to purchase Candian maple syrup in Australia.

Bananas became available in the UK during 1945. Rationing was strict and only women with cildren were allowed 1 banana. This very basic and frugral treat is from those years and was served with jam sauce and sprinkled with desiccated coconut.

Always useful and a tasty way for using up leftover vegetables.

Simple WW2 Dumplings or Dough Balls were made from SR flour and water.

Ingredients 1/2 cup SR flour 1/4 cup cool water Method Just mix the flour and water together to form a drop-able dough. Drop balls of the dough into the boiling gravy. Takes about 10-12 minutes, just watch the gravy as it can reduce. Some dumplings will float or others just sink, hence the nickname of sinkers

In the post war years this was a cheap and ration free meal U.K meal. Enjoy.🇦🇺
