A recipe from Nelson
This has been described as the nearest thing to shortbread to be found in Lancashire. Slightly over half the quantity of butter is rubbed into flour with a pinch of salt. A sprinkle of sugar is added and the mixture is kneaded together, then pressed into a buttered tin and baked. It is often rolled as thinly as possible, covered with jam then another layer of love past put on top and the edges sealed. The same kind of cake is made in other areas and called Courting Cake.
