Receta Recipe For Sponge Fingers
There is something about being a repeat customer at a car dealer that makes it worthwhile staying with the same manufacturer. My first car was a Golf, and when that was stolen I went straight out and bought a Ford, without looking at any other car. I liked the tail lights! Dave then bought me a Fiat and after that, my first Hyundai. I started with a Getz and got a second one as my next car. I then got the i20 and for those of you who are facebook friends with me, you will know that I had a serious issue with the clutch on my car. To cut a long story short, the dealer principal at the Helderberg outlet traded in my i20 for a really good price, and sold me an i30 for a discounted price. When it came time to get a new car, Wolf was ready with a very sharp pencil. He gave me a trade in above the book value, and sold me the new car at the old price. I was also given extra’s at no charge. So, it made our repeat visit an extremely good one. Since first making sponge fingers for my Charlotte I have had the excuse to repeat the baking. They are so easy to make, and good practice for me for my piping skills. And totally worth eating and enjoying.
