Singing Lily

Singing Lily

The Singing Lily is a pastry made in England.

In Lancashire, when our Mothers had been baking there was often a bit of shortcrust pastry left over. This was rolled out flat and some currants, raisins, and sugar were placed on top. The sides of the pastry were folded inwards to cover the currants, raisins and sugar. It was then rolled lightly to form a flat cake. The top of the cake was brushed with egg and sprinkled with sugar, then baked until the pastry was cooked. When cool it could be eaten as it is, or buttered. The cake was known locally as "Singing Lily", and it was created to use up the left over pastry. Nothing was wasted. It goes well with a nice mug of tea.
