Ah PJ, thanks for this recipe! I was just toying with a similar recipe. For the food nerds among us... it's interesting to know that while the first modern "published" recipe is dated from the mid-1700's (Raffald's recipe from "The Experienced English Housekeeper" published in 1769), there is are earlier references for "a crompid cake" from 1694. Other references show the term used as far back in the 1300s! Just goes to show, some of the best things stick around... and covered with apricot jam, these are yum-my! =)
