Traditionally served in colonial America as a tea bread, this bread is said to have been named for an eighteenth century English woman, Sally Lunn. She baked and sold the coffee cake style bread in her tea shop, which was located in Bath, England. Typically baked in a Turk's head mold ( a round, fluted tube pan), this batter bread is wonderful served warm from the oven or cooled and toasted.
