NOTES : Dundee cake seems to have originated in the last century as ”Cryin” bannock”, a sweet bannock made with oatmeal, sugar, mixed with cream and cooked and served to the women attending a birth. A similar bannock containing a ring was given to a child starting to cut its first tooth to play with. When it broke, everyone present got a piece and the child got the ring as a teething ring. Dundee cake is still given as a christening, wedding or Christmas gift and will keep for some months in a tin. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
