ECCLES CAKES FOR TEA

Most people know that I love cooking and write about it - preparing an electronic book - along with my wine-making efforts, so Kindles at the ready!  This afternoon I am baking Eccles Cakes. They  derive from the town of Eccles in Lancashire and the earliest date I can find is around 1760.   All my sisters enjoy baking, too, and some are champion cooks, such as Eve (pictured below).

 Later, I will post the recipe, which is so simple.
