[lace] RE: cattern cakes
This is the recipe for Cattern Cakes given by Hertfordshire Lacewings in October 1991. (Have I really been making them every year for so long? VBG) 9 oz (275gm) self raising flour 4oz (100gm) melted butter 2oz (50gm) ground almonds 7oz (200gm)caster sugar 1oz (25gm) currents 2 teaspoons caraway seeds 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 medium egg, beaten A liitle extra sugar, cinnamon and possibly, caraway seeds. Method Sift the flour and cinnamon into a bowl and stir in the currents, almonds, caraway seeds and sugar. Add the melted butter and beaten egg, mixing well to give a soft dough. Roll out, on a floured surface, into a rectangle, 12" X 10" (30X25cm) Brush the dough with water and sprinkle with the extra sugar and cinnamon. Roll up, like a swiss roll, and cut into 3/4 " (2cm) slices. Place the slices, spaced well apart, on a greased baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes at 400F (200C) or gas mark 6. Cool on a wire rack. If wanted, the slices may be sprinkled with the extra caraway seeds. Enjoy! I make these for my students every year as my birthday is also St Catherine's day and it's how we celebrate! Lynne.

Re: [lace] Re cattern cakes
There's a picture on another webpage:http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/lacemakers-cattern-cakes-english- spiced-sugar-cookies-266901 Note the subtitle. English spiced sugar cookies. It's guess that, in a pinch, you might be able to get a package of sugar cookie mix, roll it out and add the fruit and spice bits, then bake. It might be an acceptable alternative. If you're in the USA, like me, no one has tasted an authentic cattern cake so no one would be the wisrer. It would also eliminate having to translate English ingredients into what's available in the USA. I made the cookies from the book recipe once years ago. My problem is that I don't like caraway, so I made half with and half without that seed. It's too long ago to remember how well they turned out. We ate them but I don't think they were memorable. I may try again this year, especially since we have lace meeting on Nov. 25th. Perfect timing. Thanks for reminding me.
