This actually sounds a lot like what we call Shoofly Pie in the US :D Looks delicious!

They are very yummy. And they make the kitchen smell delicious as you make the filling.

Pretty much, though I'd just use molasses instead of boiling the sugar/fruit.

I've just googled Shoofly Pie, and now I think I'll have to give it a go. There must be somewhere near me that I can find molasses.

Despite the terrifying name, this sounds delicious!

They are very yummy. And the name is always a talking point!

Fruit square just isn't evocative enough as a name, really.

Thank you!

My mum used to make this when I was small (we always called it flies graveyard lol), I'll have to have a go. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

You're welcome, and good luck with them. I don't know why I feel the need to say good luck because they are really easy.

Do you also call fruit shortcake biscuits dead fly biscuits?

[liseuse]

Squashed fly biscuits is the more general term in our house, but we have used dead fly biscuit as well.

Ah, but I think of that second example as being a fruit-shortcake.
