Does anyone have a good recipe for making ekel cakes

Thanks

Butter? I was unable to find anything "ekel", and haven't previously heard of it.

If it is a regional recipe or something common to a certain nationality, maybe a little more info would help narrow it down? Or if it might be commonly known by another name?

I'd love to be able to help, just don't know where to start!

I found some, i spelt it wrong it's eccle

Thanks

Did someone say Eccles Cakes?

Nicknames for the Eccles cake include Squashed Fly Cake and Fly Cake, owing to the appearance of the currants that it contains. A similar description is often applied to the Eccles cake's smaller, drier cousin, the Garibaldi biscuit.

They are another great British gift to the world of international cuisine.

Bedstor could tell you all about them, as they are from his part of the UK.

Somebody got Eccles cakes? or as a mate calls them Ecclers cakes

There are also Chorley cakes Which are very similar
They are both a sort of currant bun
Eccles are a thin puff Pastry case and solid currants inside

Chorley are a flat round light pastry patty cake sprinkled with currants

Suggest you try out both I have a leaning to Chorlies as I prefer the solidness
Only thing that lets down Eccles cakes is the flakes over your clothes

And DG is correct about them being baked in the North West of England though the biggest baker of these commercially is Up in Burnley about 30 miles away from both towns up in the Far corner of Lancashire so they are still baked in the region

PS There is a Recipe of that link But I'd rather have it plain as the Original

This Google search has thrown up many Homemade recipe versions on both of these which is the proper way
