Cake of the Week: Traditional Eccles Cakes

Traditional Lancashire Eccles Cakes

These small, round cakes are made with Delia's light, crumbly Quick Flaky Pastry.

After the pastry has had 30 minutes to rest it's then rolled out and cut into even squares which are filled with the fruit mixture, sealed into 10 little cakes, then gently shaped into rounds before baking for 15 minutes. They're traditionally served with Lancashire cheese - but they're just as good on their own!

You can watch how Traditional Lancashire Eccles Cakes are made in Delia's step-by-step Cookery School video which you will find on the recipe page.
