Eccles Cakes how to Recipe Demonstration in the Bakery

[@crazybaker1]

Hi everyone! Hope you like this great simple recipe for you home bakers, remember to Subscribe 😀😀😀

[@frankbiz]

I remember my dad making these in our family bakery in the 70's and he would add some raspberry jam mixed with the raisins, that takes it to the next level.

[@crazybaker1]

Thanks mate 👍 I will test out next time I make them 😀 laters Steve 😀

[@jcs3330]

Wow!, I never knew how simple it was to make my childhood favourite eccles cakes....off to the shops for my ingredients!. Thanks Mr. Baker

[@crazybaker1]

Your welcome 😀 I have lots more Recipes on the channel 😀 laters Steve

[@johnscrivy]

Can remember as a young lad some 55 years ago being in the bakery where my mum worked as bakers assistant, this channel reminds me so much of those time many moons back, I bake every now and then and am inspired by this channel to do more, I still have and my mums N50 Hobert bread mixer which I use for home bread kneading.

[@crazybaker1]

It's funny mate 😀 what's inspired me to do youtube was how so many different types of Bakery's have closed down, and know one shares the old school bakery recipes, so I decide to share everything with all and hopefully some younger people take up baking 😀 before we all move on up or down 🤣🤣 laters Steve

[@brucejohnston6184]

Watching you demonstrate reminds me so much of learning from bakers. I remember the nightmare frustration of learning to hand mould buns. Thanks a million 😄

[@RonaldJMacDonald]

I live in Canada, my paternal grandmother was from from Lancashire, I loved visiting her because she always had eccles cakes in her kitchen.

[@crazybaker1]

That's funny thing my friend who lives up there now, said the same thing, he wants me to make chorley cakes, so that will be coming soon laters Steve

[@heatherbuchholz6771]

They look absolutely perfect! Just needs a cuppa with it. Well done!☕️ 🫖

They look amazing. I had my first ever Eccles cake a few months back and now I’m addicted.

[@crazybaker1]

Hi well ! I have to say that's not a bad thing, in my bakery shop customers are always saying have just love my Eccles cakes, some say they are better than Eccles the place 😀😀

[@mirandalloyd3671]

you should seek professional help

[@moraghamilton3609]

Thank you iam going to try and bake them , haven't tasted them in years

[@crazybaker1]

You will really enjoy them 😊 😘

[@jacksonbiscuit]

Thank you for this video, it help my girlfriend rescue my pastry while we made a monster ​batch of 24 for my colleagues. I live in Germany and loads of my co-workers were blown away by Cornish pasties! British food doesn't have a great rep here so I'm curious to see what they think of Eccles cakes. I used to work at Greggs across the East Midlands and then Kent so got to fall in love with all sorts of pastries. I can't buy them here anymore so try to make them myself when I have time. But there is no comparison to eating homemade bread pudding and custard anyway :)

[@crazybaker1]

Have fun, mate 😉

[@angelalove9886]

Going to try these on Monday

[@crazybaker1]

enjoy laters 😀 😘

[@keithakehurst9399]

This a fool proof recipie and I've made it many times with ready made pastry but i always have fruit left over,never mind though,it goes in the freezer for the next lot. They really are delicious😁

[@crazybaker1]

Thanks mate 👍 so to test out your skills why not make your own puff pastry here's my recipe for you kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYnVlpaJjbqWhbc laters Steve 😀😀

[@tjwes1]

When I was little, my Dad would buy us these and we would eat them in his van when he did his deliveries. He’s 85 now...I’m going to make these for him next time I go see him. Thank you.

[@crazybaker1]

Hi mate welcome to my channel, that's great to hear, I remember our old Bakery van driver, getting out the eccles cakes and lardy, at the door step, it's great memories, and sad times change laters Steve

Discovered your Channel a few weeks ago. I've lived in Germany for 40 years and adore Eccles Cakes, but only get to eat them when I visit the UK. Followed your recipe to the letter using pre-made Puff Pastry and the result ... Fantastic, much better than Greggs etc. I'll be making these on a regular basis! Yesterday also tried your Cornish Pasties again using pre-made Pastry. Tasted excellent but next time I'll try to make my own Pastry! Thanks for your efforts!

[@crazybaker1]

Hi mate welcome to my channel, I just love to know how things turned out, I know it's easy for me to make, but it great to hear that following was ok laters Steve

[@debbieminton5885]

You could have blown me away with a feather when you rolled that Eccles over and started rolling them out. I never expected that. I Just knew you were gonna break it open, but I suspect if you did that everytime you baked you would get rather fluffy yourself. Ha Ha! They do look scrumtious!

[@crazybaker1]

Very tasty, I just love them, it's very hard for me not to eat one when I bake them off daily

[@keithdawes2685]

Eccles cakes, my favourite cake.

[@crazybaker1]

and they have to be made with butter

[@alisonjane5364]

I'm looking for a yeasted bath bun recipe. Have you done one pls.

[@crazybaker1]

Yes it's a recipe I am doing very shortly, but very easy to do follow this link to my hot cross buns kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmfGoGagpNuanMU now it's the same recipe as this but less spice, fruit is the same, now once you have the round buns before proving drop the tops into sugar crystals, then proofing and baking it's that easy 😋laters Steve

[@ronniemaclean7427]

Hi. How long do you REST them for? I forgot to rest them last time but they still tasted fine.

[@crazybaker1]

Really resting the puff pastry is just to gave time for it to recover, taste will be the same, naturally when pastry comes out the oven without resting it looks like it thrink up, so basely rest for about the same time as making a cup of tea 😀 is ok, bakery resting time is 10 - 30 minutes, of that depends on the temperature of the pastry 😀 laters Steve 😀

[@dellacowlishaw-smith1839]

Hi Steve, where can I find your recipe for Puff Pastry? would like to try it from scratch. Cheers mate.

[@crazybaker1]

Hi to be honest it's something that I need to do, funny thing is someone asked last week, so I will make it after Easter 😀 laters Steve

[@karenthomas5886]

Do Eccles cakes not have any spice in them? I always thought you could taste a hint of mixed spice or cinnamon? They look great! 😋

[@crazybaker1]

Hi welcome to my channel no spice, but if you want to go for it, let me know what it's like it's always great testing out something new 😀 laters Steve

[@meincotu]

The original recipe calls for butter, sugar, currents, candied orange peel nutmeg and allspice. The sultanas are NOT in the original recipe according to my research. Everyone modifies a recipe to their taste but after a number of revisions the finished product tastes nothing like the original.

[@V1kte]

Question from a country where neither eccles cakes nor dried blackcurrants are a thing: are dried currants used for this supposed to be hard as wood? It was a bit of a challenge to find a place that sells them and they are really hard, crunchy. Will they soften while baking or should I maybe soak them a bit?

[@crazybaker1]

You can use either sultanas or raisins, currents, if you wash them first and dry them well that will be fine 🙂 enjoy

[@V1kte]

@@crazybaker1 So it's normal that dried currants are much harder than raisins or most of other dried fruits?

[@crazybaker1]

@@V1kte yes and very stoney, I prefer sultanas mixed with currents 😀

[@V1kte]

@@crazybaker1 Thank you for clarification :)

[@crazybaker1]

@@V1kte your welcome 😀

[@avalonmystic]

When you say "rest" for an hour, I assume you mean in the fridge otherwise the puff pastry won't be as fluffy (?)

[@crazybaker1]

You can leave out the the fridge if you are using pastry margarine in your pastry or butter, if you have a kitchen with a temperature over 30c then leave to rest for a short time, the rest time can vary on the type of pastry, in 50 years I have never put Eccles into the fridge only when I am making the whole weeks amount, enjoy Laters Steve 😀

[@markbanjodaniel]

What can I do to stop the pastry opening up when they are in the oven? I seal them up and make the cake , but they seem to unravel in the oven and end up like tarts .

[@crazybaker1]

Hi Mate, what my be the case is you need to rest the pastry more, and make sure you have not got to much flour on the pastry, I make them same way a the time, so the more times you make them the better you are, then you can have my job lol Laters Steve

[@markbanjodaniel]

Crazy Baker thanks for the Reply Steve ! All pointers noted 👍🏻 I’ll have plenty of practice of the next few weeks . All the best , Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I'm a bit confused about the ingredients. The recipe states "4 ozs currents". Would that be direct currents or alternating currents? It also asks for "2 ozs buttler". Will a gentleman's valet do? As for the "2 ozs castor sugar", I only have caster sugar! 🤣
