Thats right John. They were just plain short crust pastry rolled out in a circle. Currents placed in the middle.
Bring the edges of the pastry up over the currants and stick together with a bit of water or milk.
Roll out into a flat circle and bake for about half an hour. Cover with butter or marge and eat. Mmmm

Your welcome John. It was always my Nana that did the baking. I don't think Mum ever baked a cake in her life.
I bake a pretty mean parkin but not to clever with pastry.

Donkey’s years ago when I worked for Uni Relay installing Radio Luxembourg as cable radio in the Accrington district we would take a mid morning break for a brew and in my case straight out of the oven Eccles Cakes for 6d. About an inch thick and some 4 inches in diameter this tasty snack was enough to keep me going until dinnertime.

Today, if you can get one, an Eccles Cake costs 95p and is smaller and never straight out of the oven.

What is the difference between an Eccles Cake and a Chorley Cake?

No smart Alec answers please. I really want to know.

Re: bakin cakes
 
The difference I think is chorley cakes are made with shortcrust pastry and eccles are made with flaky pastry :)
