Re: [lace] Cattern Cakes
Hi All, I would agree with the methods for the making of the dough, but when that has been done, the dough is rolled out flat, caraway seeds are sprinkled over the dough, and then the dough is rolled into a large Swiss-roll fashion, cylinder-shape, and the biscuits are cut from the 'Swiss roll' - that then gives them the characteristic *wheel* look, commemorating the wheel on which St Catherine was martyred - so they are *not* named after Catherine of Aragon! I love caraway seeds, and don't just make Cattern Cakes for St Catherine's day - I'd eat them any time! Carol - in Suffolk UK. Cattern Cakes ( as we call them in Norfolk UK) are named after Catherine of Aragon who once lived at Amphill Castle. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi everyone and Carol who wrote: fashion, cylinder-shape, and the biscuits are cut from the 'Swiss roll' - that then gives them the characteristic *wheel* look, commemorating the wheel on which St Catherine was martyred and the caraway seeds supposedly represent the spikes on the wheel, chilling thought...or, they add spice to the dough in approaching winter I prefer the Cattern cookies 'short' with no leavening. Mixed lightly but thoroughly they are not heavy. bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
re:[lace]cattern cakes recipe (fwd)
Hi everyone I wrote: This is based on the recipe from Cattern Cakes and Lace - no leavening is given. To clarify - the recipe from CC and L specifies self-raising flour. Bev's recipe does not ;) -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
