SC - payn ragoun

[Christina van Tets]

Hello the List!

We had a discussion about payn ragoun Maggie Black-style a while back (maybe 
18 months ago?), and came to the conclusion that breadcrumbs were a mistake. 
  Maggie Black said that the 'thriddendele' was a mystery ingredient and she 
recommended using breadcrumbs to substitute (where the *&%$ did she get that 
one from??), while only a teaspoon of pine nuts.

My conclusion when testing the recipe was that it actually reads 'a third of 
that quantity' in pine nuts (dele = part) - therefore, much more like a pine 
nut brittle.  Apart from the fact that I used sugar, having no honey at the 
time, the recipe was easy and successful (but don't use sugar - it does 
funny things to the texture).  Just follow the proportions given in the 
original.

I imagine that the 'payn' notion comes in because it's a little loaf that 
you slice, if you haven't used sugar, whereupon it falls apart.
