I have only ever used my MIL's recipe Soutra the only thing I've changed is I use butter rather than her choice of hard marg. (a hangover from rationing?) and she always told me to wrap it in layers and layers of the Daily Express so it didn't burn. After years of experimentation I have found that any newspaper is equally effective and if you are careful with the temperature you don't need to use any
