Markymarkmark Feb 2018 5:06pm, 20 Feb 2018 6,574 posts	Quote Pin Markymarkmark I thought barm cakes were actually batches, as in bread buns baked in a batch? In a very similar vein, they are closely related to Bottom Muffins (always worth a quick snigger), or to give them their Sunday name, Lancashire Oven Bottom Muffins, which (a) are huge, (b) are not sweet and shouldn't be confused with Fruit/Chocolate muffins (basically fairy cakes on steroids, or English Tea Muffins and (c) are freely available in Yorkshire. Where I grew up there were bread rolls - small bread rolls, large bread rolls, soft bread rolls, and crusty bread rolls. And suitable combinations thereof. But they were always bread rolls. (Is a Belgium similar to a Bismarck?)
