    This is just lovely Dale. I remember enjoying this with my Nan in England.
    They are delicious, I love mincemeat pie also! My Granddad always added so e brandy to his! Lol
    I also love currents! My goodness, this sure takes me back. Thank you! As always, you are a blessing.
    I have enjoyed more memories, via your baking than I can ever remember in my lifetime! I can also
    remember going to the fresh market during the holidays to buy penny bags of spices for the Christmas
    Cakes! And the. The butcher for fresh lard, lol! I just enjoyed this tonight. Ahhhh, now I can dream of yummy
    things from the past! I will be baking this soon! Bake some biscuits for Angel!!! Lol! 🥰🕊🙏🌞

    My grandmother on my Dad's side always had mincemeat pie at the holidays, and I loved them! She was a preacher's wife, and on the U.S. Plains with her nonexistent budget, she always prepared the best homemade treats around. Your Eccles Cakes look just as beautiful as her sweet treats, round or not. Well done!

    What a great job Dale, they look yummy. Eccles cakes originate from a small town in what originally was Lancashire but is now part of Greater Manchester after the shuffling of the borders. Eccles was my first posting as a ‘Beat Bobby’ back in 1979, when we frequently took advantage of the Eccles cakes, I’m retired 10 years now so this was a pleasant reminder of happy days. Thanks Dale

    Dale. there is a sugar sold in the US, called ''Sugar in the RAW'', also known properly as Turbinado sugar. looks alot like the sugar you have. with all the wonderful stuff you cook and bake, I sure wish I was a realitive nearby or at least a good friend neighbor.

    Thank you Dale for a wonderful memory. It has been over 60 years since I had Eccles cakes. That was when I lived in Canada. The thing I have always missed since living in the States is the neighborhood bakeries where you could buy all these lovely treats. Each one having it's own distinct flavor. I may just have to have a go at trying to make these, I am not sure I will be able to find the currants though. Have a Blessed day.

    Hi Dale, I’m in UK...and I often make Eccles cakes, they are sold in supermarkets all year round, but not as nice as home made. They are not a Christmas thing like mince pies.
    Your pumpkin spice has the same ingredients as our mixed spice so should taste the same. I’ve never used bought pastry, never occurred to me, has now tho! Thank you for sharing.

    Early morning - sitting in front of a fire with a cup of coffee, and watching a Dale Calder video. A great way to start the day:) Thanks Dale for this video and recipe. I could hear Angel in the background as you began to eat the Eccles LOL I shuddered as you cut the slits in the Eccles thinking the filling would overflow while they were baking LOL. They turned out beautifully! I've never heard of Eccles before. They look delicious! I'm going to give them a try. Wishing you and Angel an amazing day!

    Awesome. I first had Eccles cakes in Brantford Ontario when I lived there 20 years ago. I'm in Ottawa now and cannot find them so I've been searching a bit ofr these. Yours look very delicious.

    That filling looked yummy, and I'm not even fond of currants/raisins! What a nice treat with a cup of tea.
    I agree with you about puff pastry; all-butter is so much better than the weird oily kind. Any time I see all-butter puff in a store, I buy a couple extra packages to stash in the freezer. Sometimes our local natural foods store carries all-butter puff. Also in the US, I believe Whole Foods sells it.

    Hello Dale....Your Eccles Cakes looked lovely! I'm sure they originate from Manchester in the UK and can be bought year round from supermarkets and bakeries over here. The Pumpkin Spice that you used is very similar to Mixed spice however Mixed Spice contains other Spices like Cloves, Coriander, Allspice, Ginger and Caraway, I think Cinnamon being the dominant flavour. Its used in Christmas Cake along with other baked goods.
