Eccles Cakes

An item bought @ TESCO.

 

Tasted like Singapore's Khong Guan's Sultana Biscuits (grin) meets "Tau Sar Pia" (Mung Bean Paste Pastries).

 

Off Wikipedia: An Eccles cake is a small, round pie, similar to a turnover, filled with currants and made from flaky pastry with butter, sometimes topped with demerara sugar. The word cake has generally since narrowed in meaning to sweet, leavened baked goods. The Eccles cake is named after the English town of Eccles, which is in the historic county of Lancashire and in the ceremonial county of Greater Manchester.

 

This is not a Scottish food but I found it on the shelves in TESCO.

As taste goes.....it was kinda "blah". Dried fruits as filling in pastries do not really cut it for myself.
