Thanks scorpiojo- but then i'm puzzled by the 'sauce' reference

[scorpiojo]

Hmmm. Good point

[Mamyalynne]

Simply 's' to make it plural, surely.

[scorpiojo]

Another good point, Mamya!

Yes, I suggested japs but have no idea if they're related to baking.
I'll Google it

[Mamyalynne]

They are cakes as said.

Maybe tis a Northern thing, I have always known of them.

Ah- Jap isn't in any of the dictionaries I looked in but a search of Jap Cakes found these. If they are known as Japs then I haven't heard of it but it must be right

Maybe it derives from...

Jaup/Jap (alt) - Scots. A Splattering, they are rather flat to look at.
