Good old England! grams for butter, ounces for flour, millimetres for thickness and inches for size! Love it!

When i was a kid there was a bakery in our village who used to make all the things you do sadly closed 25 years ago my favourite was danish pastries with sultanas and icing on top

[@crazybaker1]

I will be doing a revised Danish pastry recipe 😋 which will include the round ones like you said 😉 😀

Made theses today and they didn’t come half bad, not as good as yours bust you had a lot experience than me. Thank you for posting, like to get some of that butter mix perhaps you could put a link as to where we can order some.

@@crazybaker1 I’ve seen the recipe I was trying to fine out the butter/ baker margarine and where you get it from?

[@crazybaker1]

@johno5 I see it's for the pastry. The best thing is white shorting and butter mixed together, or just use butter

[@robertmorley3609]

@@crazybaker1 freeze the butter and grate it and add to flour. Job done!

Hi Steve, Thank you for sharing your recipes and knowledge. My family and I really enjoy watching your videos and have been following you for some time. Although we quite enjoy the traditional Eccles Cakes, when we’ve purchased them from bakeries in the south of England, we’ve often received a version which is thicker and which we believe uses left over cake crumbs, fruit, and mixed spice as a filling, which we actually prefer. I’ve trolled the internet trying to find this recipe without any luck, although I did find the WC Rowe's Nelson squares recipe which was similar’ish. I’m sure this recipe is out there having purchased them in bakeries from Looe in Cornwall to Hornchurch in Essex, so was wondering if you by chance knew the secret and could post a video on your channel. Many thanks and fingers crossed. Richard, Helen and James Slater.

Can you use already bought short puff pastry.

[@crazybaker1]

Yes, of course, to be honest I have used shortcrust pastry as well, ok some people would say that a Chorley cake, Eccles is always puff pastry laters Steve 😀
