Several years ago I was at a local farmer’s market, looking over a baker’s spread, when a small round pastry caught my eye. It was neatly stacked on its fellows, each crimped, golden, and speckled with grains of sugar. What’s that? I asked the amiable proprietor. Even from my side of the table they looked heavy and firm, like little pats of butter. English Eccles cakes! he said, in a rolling British accent.

I was going to do my second attempt at making these sandwiches. The first time was a couple of week's before and they only had half loaves which turned out to be too small. I found the recipe for these in Serge Dansereau's new French Kitchen under Ham Mousse Rolls or Rouleaux a la mousse de jambon (doesn't it sound much more sophisticated in French?) and fell in love with the look of them. They are of course just like a regular sandwich but with more filling and more "oooh ahhh" value and I also think that these are the perfect picnic sandwich!

You can adjust the amounts of sugar, rose water, and lemon juice to suit your tastes.
