(Optional)<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 Egg for Egg Wash (Optional)<\/p>\n<p>METHOD<br \/>\n1. Create an &#8220;ale barm&#8221; by mixing the yeast with the lukewarm ale and letting sit for 10 minutes. If you are using saffron, mix that into the sherry and let steep.<br \/>\n2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, clove, and mace together. Add the yeasted ale and work it in. Then work in the softened butter and the sack with saffron along with any fruit you are using. Mix until everything the dough comes together, then knead for 5 &#8211; 12 minutes. The longer you knead, the more bread-like the cakes will be, but the more they will rise.<br \/>\n3. Allow dough to rise for 1 hour (it will likely not double in size), then punch the dough down and form into small cakes. Cover and allow the cakes to rise for another 20 minutes while you preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F\/200\u00b0C.<br \/>\n4. When the cakes have puffed up, add the optional egg wash and\/or additional fruit, or form a cross on the top of each cake using the back of a knife (do not cut the cross in). Then back fro 20 minutes. When baked, allow to cool before serving. <\/p>\n<p>#tastinghistory #halloween #soulcakes<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-31-at-10-18-11-Soul-Cakes-Trick-or-Treating-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-31-at-10-18-11-Soul-Cakes-Trick-or-Treating-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-69515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-31-at-10-18-11-Soul-Cakes-Trick-or-Treating-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-31-at-10-18-11-Soul-Cakes-Trick-or-Treating-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-31-at-10-18-11-Soul-Cakes-Trick-or-Treating-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-31-at-10-18-11-Soul-Cakes-Trick-or-Treating-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tasting History with Max Miller Published 30 Oct 2020 Help Support the Channel with Patreon: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/tastinghistory Follow Tasting History here: Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tastinghist&#8230; Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/TastingHistory1 Reddit: r\/TastingHistory LINKS TO INGREDIENTS &#038; EQUIPMENT** Canon EOS M50 Camera: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3amjvwu Canon EF 50mm Lens: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3iCrkB8 Currants: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2T3qItA Nutmeg: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IGDlcb Clove: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dyNWRP Mace: https:\/\/amzn.to\/31j625h Saffron: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3560pbP KitchenAid Stand Mixer: https:\/\/amzn.to\/37hsboA [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35193,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,74,7,11],"tags":[360,1276,1043,33,703,855,1388,1442,737],"class_list":["post-67284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-britain","category-food","category-history","category-religion","tag-christianity","tag-cooking","tag-halloween","tag-ireland","tag-middleages","tag-polytheism","tag-recipes","tag-tastinghistory","tag-wales"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/favicon.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2hpV6-hve","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67284"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69516,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67284\/revisions\/69516"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
