My mum used to make plate-sized Chorley cakes, delicious cut up straight from the oven and buttered on the top. I sometimes use her parkin recipe too, mmmmmm!, and her egg custards were to die for.

(Poor Mancie, is all this cake getting up your nose?)

grannyclaret · 08-05-2006, 16:12

oooh yes please,,sticky parkin....yum

This is so good that inadvertently Mancie has indeed started a baking thread.

You'll have to let him lick the bowl out, if he's a good little soldier.

The end product might be enough to cheer the grumpy so ans so up.

If he's not careful he'll get some positive karma for it!

As for licking the bowl, tell him to flush it, like every-one else!

I had never heard ov sad cakes till we came to accy. My Nan used to bake em but she called em corren cakes.
She would roll them out on the door of the kitchenett thing and bake them on greased paper.
She made fantastic egg custards at the same time.
Mmm makes my mouth water just thinking about them. The shop down the road sold my favorite cakes. They were called bath buns but I havn't seen them about for years.
