Barm cake

A barm cake is a soft, round, flattish bun from northern England, traditionally leavened with barm.
The original barm cake is found in areas of Lancashire, North West England. Elsewhere in the country, a similar bread roll would be known instead as a "breadbun", "breadcake", "bap, "cob" (a Midlands term referring to a crustier roll), "teacake" (West Yorkshire/some parts of Cumbria; without currants or currant teacake with currants) or even a "stottie," a larger, spongy bread native to North East England.
