I love the idea of using a puff pastry crust, I may have to try that next time instead of the shortcrust I used here :) What a lovely story and memory!

My mom who is now 94 and came to America when she was four always called a pastry like this one Fly Cemeteries also. Every Christmas my grandmother would make a version of this recipe. The filling was the same. but she choose a puff pastry curst sprinkled with confectioners sugar. While searching for a currant recipe I ran accross yours.

I should definitely reattempt these here, currants are really easy to find and purchase whereas in the States it was rather difficult. Will def. post about it if I get a good GF version!

I hope you'll get back to them sometime very soon and develop the GF version. Shortbread is one of my favorite things, and I would love to be able to make one that I could eat now. My mom cooked like Maude! When I was first married she sent me a bunch of the "family recipes". Most of them were lists of ingredients, sometimes with amounts or approximate amounts, however nothing about how to make them or what temp to bake them or anything more! Even complicated desserts--just a list of ingredients. They always made me laugh, she was a wonderful cook, and I guess just didn't think about the fact that I had NO idea what she was talking about!

But "Fly Cemeteries," my word! Yes, that's awful. How to come up with a name that sounds good but is also traditional-sounding and reminiscent of the original? Hmm . . . Fly Sentinals . . . Currant Cemeteries . . . Fly Seminaries? Happy cooking! I'm loving your recipes AND your writing. Chris in Santa Fe These are beautiful. But “Fly Cemeteries,” my word! Yes, that’s awful.

My mother is the exact opposite: she gives me too much information when I ask her for a recipe. "Ok, next you sautée the chicken. Do you know how to do that? You take a bit of oil, but not olive oil, because that wouldn't work for this recipe, and then you put it in the pan and wait for it to get hot, and then..." Anyways, the squares look delightful!

I love the name - it has such strong imagery that I'm sure it would be perfect for Halloween =D. I'm glad Maude approved! These look fantastic!
