A chef is trying to encourage children into the kitchen by bringing back a long-lost recipe synonymous with the north west of England.
He said it was believed they dated back to the 16th or 17th Century when shortbreads were created by Mary Queen of Scots.Mr Counsell, who works as a chef in Blackburn, said: "Shortbread is basically a flour, a butter and a sugar, and each place that you go to does it a bit different."Tossets are very short, so there's a lot of butter and a lot of flour and that's what makes them unique to Stalmine.
He said: "They were made for Wake Festivals, which was about laying wreaths on church grounds, getting rid of the old wreaths and laying new ones, so it was like a funeral, but they prayed the night before."
