Fifteens

For the medieval English property tax, see Taxation in medieval England § Plantagenet England (1216–1360).

Fifteens are a type of tray bake from Ulster. The recipe's name derives from the fact that a set of fifteen buns is typically made with 15 digestive biscuits, 15 marshmallows and 15 glacé cherries,^[1] which are combined with condensed milk and desiccated coconut.^[2][3]
