Have just made some Eccles cakes today for my daughter and partner and said they tasted delicious thank you Connie

@dianerollings3474 Рік тому

Thank you so much. I’ve made these Eccles cakes. The closest I’ve tastes. Since leaving England. Thank you so much. Love your cooking Mr Paul. Diane from Australia ❤

@TheGothichic Рік тому

As a Lancashire lass these are my favourite sweet treats, I love them both equally. Thanks for the recipe Mr Paul, I look forward to making them

@di4237 Рік тому

These look lovely Mr. Paul, and you explain the method so clearly and simply it encourages even the faint hearted to have a bash at making them. Thanks to you I'm becoming a pretty good cook. If only I'd known of you when I was younger and struggling to cook decent meals for my family, but it's never too late to learn, so a BIG thank you from your 80 year old fan in the UK.

Good morning Mr Paul,best start to my day,a video from my favourite cook,hope you are well😊😊

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Good morning to you too Gerry. I'm doing OK in the circumstances Thanks.

@reginafitzgerald6706 Рік тому

Hello Paul from Philippines here. My husband was born in Lancashire so I will try this recipe of yours

@Pembroke. Рік тому

Mr Paul it's always nice to have a bit of harmless Town rivalry going. Either way they look both delicious and I can't wait to try them soon, take care.

@threepurrs Рік тому

Thank you Mr.Paul … I will give these a try. They look delicious.

@belindagordon8847 Рік тому

Well Mr Paul I made both and followed you to a tee . They are really good. I never had chorley cakes before and they are truly divine. A great thank you.

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Thanks Belinda, you know what they say "The old recipes are the best"

@LazyCookPete Рік тому

Thanks for these two great competing recipes Mr Paul. I like them both equally, although Eccles cakes are easier to find in stores, especially in the south of the UK. I need to get baking then! Shared.

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Hi Pete, the Chorley cake came out on top last year when I did poll of people who had actually made both recipes.. Must be the butter and cheese!! Regards to Richard.

@judith4985 Рік тому

Oh, both look so good! I’ve made Eccles cakes, but not the Chorley cakes. I’ll have to give them a try! Question: Do the dairy farmers in Spain feed their cattle Palm Oil? Canadian dairy farmers do and our butter is not the same. Doesn’t melt in warm temperatures. I sure wish they would stop!

@suejackson5023 Рік тому

I've used your recipes for these so many times! I prefer the Chorley cakes, but many in my family prefer Eccles cakes. Both are delightful and your tutorial makes it so easy! Thank you.

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Thanks for your feedback as usual Sue, añas appreciated..

@pattyfarghaly1821 Рік тому

My two favorite things in the whole world. Eccles cajes I love with a bit of jam backed in them. They are hard to find here in my part of USA and only one place makes them almost right. I miss UK. Thank you Mr Paul.

@ann.obrien5139 Рік тому

They look delicious, I’ll be giving them a go 😋😋

@bunnyjames3828 Рік тому

All so new to me. Well described and is making me hungry!!! Thank you. 🇺🇲

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

You're very welcome Bunny, thanks for watching.

@rosamundmundy6966 Рік тому

You dont have sultanas there either.. we do in Australia,so yours would be raisins or sultanas

@rosamundmundy6966 Рік тому

Not sultanas raisins or currants..

@mahmoudokah9801 Рік тому

It looks delicious. Thank you MR Paul.

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Thank you

@indranikg5521 Рік тому

Thanks for sharing these two amazing recipes. Wil try for sure.

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

You're most welcome. Thank you for watching.

@davedawber527 Рік тому

Thanks Mr Paul. The wife and I have just watched this and my wife says she’s actually salivating. Unfortunately she is Celiac and I an Diabetic so she is looking into trying to make the Chorley Cakes with Gluten Free Flour. Being a Manchester lad, the Eccles Cakes we’re always my favourites but alas, they are not available in Canada, where I now live. I daren’t make the Eccles Cakes with Shop bought Puff Pastry as the wife would definitely have something to say about that😂😂

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Hi Dave, what's wrong with shop bought pastry?

@jeanbrookes6300 Рік тому

Very smart haircut, looks great 😊

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Thank you Jean

@lauraellen189 Рік тому

The Americans that watch your channel won't mind if you use inches, haha! I have always been fascinated with Bristish pastries. They have spices, peels, sultanas/currants which I love. They are also called by unique names, at least to me. My mother would enjoy these with her morning coffee. Thanks for sharing!

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Thank you Laura both for following my channel and your regular comments which are always appreciated,

@kath-phlox Рік тому

You certainly got me thinking. I'm not a fan of either of those, but I used to make really good scones years ago. They are so fast to make, but my sultanas in the cupboard will be years old now, So maybe time to buy new ones, I'll work through your orange cake I made today, it's looking really good. I'm making the scones on the next bake.

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

It all sounds delicious. I would have been round pronto for a cuppa and a cake excep you omitted to say where in the world you are you !!

@ndlz1 Рік тому

I appreciate the lesson in showing the difference. I would prefer the Chorley cake, if I had to choose. 🤗🙏

@phs599 Рік тому

Mr Paul, I really don't mind you using your fingers, at least you are teaching us the traditional way to cook. I love these recipes and I have tried to make both Chorley Cakes and Eccles Cakes but with no success. However, you have made it look so easy. Have you ever made potato cakes in your bakery? I have tried to make them as they are in the shops but have never been successful.

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

In my bakery we made hundreds of Potato Cakes every single day. Here is a link to my recipe, I hope it helps: mr-pauls-pantry.com/irish-potato-farls-also-called-potato-cakes/

@jacquelineross5453 Рік тому

Yum Yum in my tumm💖💖y

@paulinegagne-bertrand9871 Рік тому

Both recipes look delicious. I listen to Coronation Street religious and they are always picking up Eccles cakes at Roy’s Rolls. I was always curious as to how they were made. Now I will attempt to make these. Thanks for sharing.😊

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Thanks for taking the time to comment, I hope you enjoy them.

@LindaCHoward Рік тому

Sad to say that I’ve never tried either of these, but will be soon. Starting with the Chorley cakes - who can resist adding butter and crumbly cheese to anything! Thank you for making this video Mr Paul ✨

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

You're very welcome Linda, I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for watching

@dd7521 Рік тому

Thanks for showing the two recipes (and the difference) I think I prefer Chorley cakes and definitely the sultanas rather than currants. Would you say Chorley cakes are similar to Welsh cakes?

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Hi DD, no, welsh cakes are not made with pastry, it's more of a cake mix with the fruit mixed in. Also they are usually cooked on the stove top n griddle plate.

@pattyfarghaly1821 Рік тому

I love Welsh cakes too.

@belindagordon8847 Рік тому

Good morning Mr Paul. I always thought the Eccles cakes were too hard to make at home. They are my favourite so I'm going to have a go. Thank you for the step by step pastry. It's very handy to see it done as it's easier to emulate than just a written recipe for us novices. I heard its 40 degrees in Spain. Its still cold here and im still using my electric blanket. Oh for a bit of sun. Tell me Mr Paul are you a gardener. Do you use any home grown herbs fruit or veg. Again thank you for the video, so very enjoyable as always.

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Hello Belinda, my late wife Pamela was the gardener and DIY person, since her passing I did keep the garden in good shape, however when I had my fall and broke my neck back in 2022 things got out of hand, so I now have a gardener to do it. Yes, all my herbs are grown just outside my kitchen door. I also have lemon trees, fig trees, plum tree and one each of Orange, grapefruit and a grape vine on my terrace. It is quite warm here, I'm sitting on the terrace with my morning coffee and a toasted crumpet.

@lauraellen189 Рік тому

@Mr. Paul's Pantry how wonderful to all those fruit trees!! I am almost a little jealous 😊

@lauraellen189 Рік тому

I live in the USA and I have to pay so much for a package of 4 Eccles cakes. I had no idea how quick they are to make with store bought puff pastry!

@GolDreadLocks Рік тому

Hello Mr. Paul! I like these recipes Very Much, but for some reason I keep seeing a small amount of orange juice in the mixture! It seems to be triggering a recipe memory that I can't figure out! - Any ideas what it could be? Lol! You look very fit today, I must say! As usual, Stay safe, keep fit, enjoy the sunshine, and pat the pups for me!

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Sorry can't help, No orange juice in either of these recipes-

@troyboy4345 Рік тому

Question Paul .... Could you add a splash of Cognac or Whiskey to the fruit ? I am thinking of something that would be lovely with ice cream, when warm ... thank you.

@MrPaulsPantry Рік тому

Hi Troy, unfortunately I've never tried it as I personally donut take alcohol. However, if you do try it yourself please let me know it went.
