Named after the small Scottish village of Ecclefechan, this special style tart is spiced with cinnamon, lemon peel and dried fruits, and served with whipped cream and toasted walnuts. It's a versatile tart, ideal to accompany afternoon tea or as a pudding on special holiday occasions. This indulgent buttery sweet treat can be compared to the American pecan pie.
