Old receipe from my Grans book for Eccles cakes:
12ozs of rough puff pastry, using;
6ozs of fat to 12ozs of plain flour.
Filling 1oz of margarine or butter.
1oz of mixed peel.
4ozs of currents.
1oz of demerara sugar.
level teaspoon of mixed spices.
Melt margarine or butter and mix with the other ingredients.
Roll out pastry to 1/8th of an inch thickness, cut into 4inch rounds
and put a heaped teaspoon of filling on each round, damp the edges
and draw up to enclose the filling, turn over to the smooth side and
flatten slightly, make three cuts across, place on a baking sheet, brush
with milk and dredge with castor suger.
Bake near top of oven 445deg F for 15 mins.
445deg F is equivalant to Celsius 230 or Gas Mark 8
Yummy.
