Originating in Scotland and Ireland with the Celts, Halloween actually is derived from a Celtic festival called Samhain. Every year the Celts would celebrate their New Years Eve on October 31st as it marked the end of the Summer season, and the following day was the start of the Winter season when it got colder and darker. They would build huge bonfires to scare off evil spirits and dance around them. The idea of children knocking door to door came from the tradition of begging for a few pence to give to the poor and a cake for themselves which became soul cakes. For every soul cake they received the children would then say a prayer for the souls of the dead. One of the most popular cakes was a caraway bun. A simple cake with caraway seeds sprinkled on the top.
Every year on Halloween night our front door is constantly on the go! We have to remember to buy extra sweets and treats for children and as much as we love seeing their little scary faces at the door it can prove to be quite an expensive time. So this year I decided to make some of my own cookie treats, a huge pile of little caraway cakes, piled into a box which I decked out in crumpled orange and black tissue paper, which they have to delve in to pull out little cakes, wait for the hesitation. That way I only had to buy the tissue paper and a packet of caraway seeds! Works a treat!
This is what you'll need:
85g Margarine,
85g Self raising flour,
113g Caster sugar/finely granulated sugar,
28g Cornflour/cornstarch,
2 Eggs,
Vanilla essence,
Packet of caraway seeds.
Instructions
Separate the eggs whites and beat to a stiff texture, till they peak.
Put to one side.
Cream together the margarine, sugar and vanilla essence until light with a pale colour.
Sieve the flour and cornflour together and fold into the egg yolk mixture.
Finally fold in the egg whites.
Half fill about 15 small paper cake cases and stand them in a bun or patty tin to support them, or double the cases and use a flat baking tray.
Sprinkle over some caraway seeds on the top.
Bake for 10-12 minutes in a pre-heated oven.
