Is anyone watching Jamie and Jimmy's Friday Night Feast?? We love it! So far I have wanted to try everything they have made! Will definitely be giving the Beer Butt Chicken a go the next time we have a BBQ!
A couple of weeks ago they reinvented the 'Tosset Cake'. A Gorgeous little spiced biscuit which used to be highly popular in Lancashire but when the Rations kicked in during the war it died out as it has large amounts of Butter and sugar in it.
I couldnt wait to try it!!
I Copied this recipe from the one Jamie used online.

Tosset Cake
Makes 25
500g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
150g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
500g unsalted butter, softened
1 heaped teaspoon caraway seeds
1 heaped teaspoon coriander seeds
Icing sugar, for decorating
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.Sieve the flour and sugar into a large bowl, then rub in the butter.
Lightly crush the
seeds in a pestle and mortar, then add to the bowl.
Stir the mixture so it comes
together to form a dough, bringing it together to make a ball, then wrap in cling film
and place in the fridge to rest for around 1 hour.
Roll out the dough on a flour-dusted surface to roughly ½cm thick, then stamp out
circles with a 6cm pastry cutter.
Place the dough circles onto a flour-dusted baking
tray and sprinkle with a little sugar. Pop in the hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until
firm (you want them to be a nice pale colour, rather than golden). Transfer to a wire
cooling rack to cool completely, then dust with icing sugar and serve.
Tea anyone???
