Whigs 1826

Some plain rolls known as Hawkshead wigs or whigs and a cake known as Hawkshead cake exactly similar to those eaten by Wordsworth when he was a boy at school are still made and sold at Hawkshead; some were shown at the first English Folk Cookery Exhibition held in London on January 16th, 1931.

The following recipe makes whigs slighty richer than the Hawkshead rolls and more like those made and sold at the Red House Restaurant, Bath.
