I did loads of baking yesterday but forgot to take a photo before I packaged it up & it went in the hampers,2 of which have been given out with various chutneys & jams. There was mincemeat slice, coconut ice, Christmas tiffin, spicy sugared nuts, petit four biscuits & chocolate truffles with Grand Marnier. I hope they like them.

I've made Eccles cakes a few times in the last year and made these ones last week.

I make my own puff pastry using the frozen grated method. I use olive spread frozen and grated.
You can of course cheat and use the ready made stuff, but of course it will not be as good.

Roll out the pastry to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut to create twelve 3 1/2 inch square rectangles.
 
For the filling;
8 oz Currants, sultanas or fruit of your choice
2 oz butter
2 oz sugar

Mix all filling ingredients together in a bowl until fruit is fully covered.
Put about two tablespoons of the filling in the centre of each puff pastry square.
Fold each corner to the middle and pinch them all together.
Turn over and flatten with a rolling pin or your hand.
Cut about four lines into each.
Place on a grease proofed baking tray and rest for an hour.
Wash with water or egg whites and sprinkle sugar over each one.
Bake at 180c for around 20 mins until golden brown.

Mmm they look yummy, but I’ve only ever seen round ones before

Ohh!!!!! Saved by the bell!  I was just browsing through the posts and saw this - thank goodness.  It reminded me that I have a fruit cake in the oven downstairs.  Must go and rescue it before it becomes burnt offerings.

Haha, so much easier to make them rectangular like I do.

Yes when I saw them I thought ‘I bet they’re easier to make than the traditional round ones’! I actually think yours look nicer too 😊
