If you've ever stopped by the [Spread Eagle](http://www.spreadeaglesawley.co.uk/) for one of our delicious afternoon tea's or simply for a [business meeting](https://spreadeaglesawley.co.uk/functions/) in our function room, you may well have tried one of our famous Eccles cakes.

With winter just around the corner, our humble Eccles cakes are a great treat and pefect for colder weather. Personally, we like them when they've just come out of the oven!

If you can't join us at the Spread Eagle, here's a little taste of the pub in your home!

**For 12 Eccles cakes** (for 6, just half the recipe!)
500g of currants
12oz (350g) of butter
8oz (225g) dark brown sugar
4 teaspoons of mixed spice
A roll of puff pastry (or try your own!)

- Mix all ingredients except the puff pastry together form into a ball.
- Cut a circle of the puff pastry roughly 5 inches and put ball of mix in centre and fold pastry around it.
- Roll into a flat circle dip circle in milk and caster sugar chill for an hour.
- Bake 175C/Gas Mark 3/ for 15 minutes

Enjoy with a mug of tea or a lovely coffee
