Pope Ladies

Pope ladies are yeast-based buns unique to the city of St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England.[1] They are thought to date from the Middle Ages.

Pope ladies are shaped to look like figures consisting of a body, head, two arms but no legs. The base of the body would be tapered to a point.[2]

An example of the bun can be found in Museum of St Albans.[3]

Traditionally they were said to have been made and handed out to the poor on Lady Day[4] or New Year's Day[5] (although there is some debate over this).[6] Nowadays they are available from most local baker shops.

Recipes are available on the internet, many of which seem to be from American sites.[7][8] Traditionally nutmeg should be added,[5] but some recent recipes don't include this.
