Sally Lunn Museum.
"The Sally
Lunn derives its name from the inventor and original maker, who
was an expert in all things concerning the cookery of the latter
half of the 18th century. Among other delicacies this lady of
genius and happy resources invented, the piece de resistance was
this tea-cake. In all the great tea fights the Sally Lunn occupied
the place of honour on a silver dish. It was an expensive cake,
and made of various sizes according to the party. Composed of
fine flour, mixed carefully with new milk, then raised, and so baked
as to leave the "heart" perfectly soft, and whilst hot cut into
"rounds" and buttered ad libitum. If it be less popular than of old, it is
probably due to the fact that modern digestions are not
equal to those of our great-grandmothers, certainly not
to the invention of a greater luxury."
