Eccles Cakes

★ 4.925 ratings

Invented in the English town of Eccles in Lancashire, these delightfully sweet, currant-filled pastries are now popular throughout the world. Traditionally, they might be served with a piece of Lancashire cheese, though they’re lovely just with a cup of tea…especially warm out of the oven.
