So did anyone make this last year after the recipe was posted? I started out with the intention of making the soulcake recipe posted in this thread (not "spaw's solecakes!) and then got carried away prettying up the recipe to make it taste better and they came out more like very eggy spiced teacakes.

I'm going to try again this year but I just can't bear to waste good food by making something unpalatable. Would it be such a crime against tradition to use wholewheat flour and switch out the currants for sultanas?

Also - what is the "Mixed Spice" called for in the posted recipe - I presume this is what we usually call Pumpkin Pie Spice in the states - a blend of Cinnamon, Mace, Ginger and cloves.

Oddly enough, I will be getting another 20 pounds of Wahoo at the end of the week so if I wanted to make fishcakes I could! (See Catspaw's joke farther up)
