19th Century Cheesecakes ◆ A Victorian Recipe

[@Maryhennessy-d8x]

11:16 Hi, about 30 years ago I bought a pie in Scotland called an Ecclefechan pie. It was very similar to this recipe. I passed through Ecclefechan again in June but sadly all the local bakers had gone. At present I'm re-reading George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss. In Chapter six it days 'Mrs Tulliver's cheese cakes were more exquisitely light than usual, a puff o' wind 'ud make 'em blow around like feathers. ' It mentions pastry being used. Being curious to know how pastry was used for a cheese cake I did a web search and found your site. It's so interesting to see these lovely little cakes being made. I'll definitely make them. I love this site
