Yorkshire jam cake

[Arch]

Then it's not a Yorkshire speciality I'm afraid! It's a fairly common way of using up left-over bits of pastry when homebaking. When I grew up & was seeing my mother/aunts/family friends bake it was a normal way to minimise waste & maximise edible food. And we aren't Yorkshire folk.

We used to use them to make a sort of jam filled pasty. Mind you, that was after we'd played with rolling it out, cutting out shapes, and re-rolling it all for a bit, so the pastry was usually a bit grey by the time it got baked...

oh, now, all I can think about is how long it'll be before I can make rice krispie buns with Oli. His spoon control really isn't up to it yet.

Yeah, my mum used to make those. And she's from London!

The misses has just shown me the recipe from an old M&S cookbook. No mention of it being a leftover pastry cake, it's described as being like a strawberry shortcake but with jam.
