Langley wakes cakes

Langley wakes are traditional English cookies that are often baked for annual wakes or fairs in Derbyshire villages during the summer months of July and August. They are usually made with a combination of flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, eggs, and dried fruits and nuts such as sultanas, currants, and hazelnuts.

The dough is rolled out and cut into rounds, then baked in the oven until golden brown. Once done, the cookies are typically sprinkled with caster sugar and left to cool before they're served. Langley wakes can also be stored in airtight containers where they will keep for a few days.
