Tuesday, 9th July 2019 – Recipes (Towcester Cheesecakes, Yorkshire Cheesecakes, Maids of Honour) I think there is no doubt that each of these three recipes are very closely related, and are in fact subtle variants of pretty much the same thing, and they clearly date from a time when sugar was becoming more available, but…
