Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Sprinkle a baking sheet with water.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in currants, mixed peel, demerara sugar and mixed spice. Stir until sugar is dissolved and fruit is well coated. Remove from heat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to a 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out 8 (5 inch) circles, using a saucer as a guide. Divide the fruit mixture evenly between the circles. Moisten the edges of the pastry, pull the edges to the center and pinch to seal. Invert filled cakes on the floured surface and roll out gently to make a wider, flatter circle, but do not break the dough.
- Brush each cake with egg white and sprinkle generously with white sugar. Make three parallel cuts across the top of each cake, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes, until golden.

Fabulous!!! Eccles cakes are a huge hit in my house - maybe it's because I live in the North of England (Yorkshire). Anyway, I didn't have any mixed spice & guess what....they were truly delicio...
Eccles Cakes are one of my favorite sweets to buy when I'm in England and these certainly satisfy me here! Using the puff pastry makes this an easy recipe.
These turned out delicious, but I really need some help as I have no idea where I went wrong. First of all I couldn't get the demerara sugar to melt. I added extra butter to see if that was the ...
Same recipe i use but i make more like 40 at a time. If the sugar doesn't melt with the butter don't worry, it will melt when you cook them. Make sure to seal the pastry well on the underside ...
I made these as a gift for some British friends and they raved about them. Saved a couple for me and my husband and they were delicious.
Excellent taste and texture! Brought back memories of the local bakery I used to get these at when I was a child
