 Shortcrust pastry base filled with a confection of various composition, but usually including a tart fruit flavouring such as apple or lemon. Eaten in Ripon during Wilfra week, the first week in August, to commemorate the cathedral’s patron, St. Wilfred.  St Wilfrid’s Procession Image: https://lovelockwoods.files.wordpress.com The Yorkshire Post in March 2011 (http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/) reportd that: “The early August celebration, now called St Wilfrid’s Procession, is still very popular, but the tradition of baking Wilfra Cakes – and their cousins, Wilfra Tarts, which are made with lemons, eggs, butter and ground almonds – appears to be dying out”  Wilfra Tarts Image: http://www.onlycrumbsremain.co.uk See: Wilfra Cakes  |
