What is an Eccles Cake?
An Eccles cake is a small, round pie, similar to a turnover, filled with currants and made from flaky pastry with butter, sometimes topped with demerara sugar.
For the pastry:
450g strong white flour
250g cold butter, grated
200ml iced cold water
Pinch of salt
For the filling:
200g currants
75g butter
50g caster sugar
50g brown sugar
1 tsp Christmas Punch Flavour Shot
For the topping:
2 egg whites
Method
Pre heat the oven to 200°C.
Melt the butter in a pan till melted, add the currants, sugars and Christmas Punch Flavour Shot, then cook for 2 minutes. Allow to cool and chill.
Mix together the ingredients for the pastry until you have a dough, then roll out onto a floured surface to a large rectangle 2mm thick.
Cut out 10 cm circles from the pastry and brush with egg white. Fill each circle with the currant mixture, then seal, flip over and pop onto a baking sheet. Brush with egg white, snip two slits in the top of the pastry with scissors to allow air to escape and sprinkle caster sugar.
Bake for 15 minutes.
