Gervase Markham, The English Hous-wife Banbury, a town in Oxfordshire, is still famous for its cakes, but today the most popular ones are flavored with rum. Still, Markham's cakes hold their own some three hundred fifty years after they were created. Having no ale barm, we'll use yeast. Banbury cakes, serve warm with butter and jam, are delicious at breakfast or tea. 1. In a saucepan, scald cream. Add butter, sugar, and salt. Stir to
dissolve. Pour mixture into a large bowl and cool to lukewarm. 2. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water.
3. Add yeast, eggs, and spices to cream mixture.
4. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of flour and currants, stirring until
currants are lightly coated. 5. Add flour and currants to cream

SUMMARY
=======
A Banbury cake is a spiced, currant-filled, flat pastry cake similar to an Eccles cake, although it is more oval in shape. Once made and sold exclusively in Banbury, England, Banbury cakes have been made in the region to secret recipes since 1586 and are still made there today, although not in such quantity. The cakes were once sent as far afield as Australia, the East Indies and America, normally in locally-made wickerwork baskets.Banbury cakes were first made by Edward Welchman, whose shop was on Parsons Street. Documented recipes were published by Gervase Markham (in The English Huswife, 1615, pages 75–76) and others during the 17th century. These recipes generally differ greatly from the modern idea of a Banbury cake, in terms of their size, the nature of the pastry, and how the cake is made. In the late 19th century, the notorious refreshment rooms at Swindon railway station sold Banbury cakes and pork pies (obviously stale). Queen Victoria was presented with Banbury cakes on her journey from Osborne to Balmoral each August.Besides currants, the filling typically includes mixed peel, brown sugar, rose water, rum, and nutmeg. Banbury cakes were traditionally enjoyed with afternoon tea.
