'''Fat Rascal''' is a type of traditional [[British cuisine|British]] [[biscuit]] that originated from the [[Yorkshire]] region of [[England]]. It is also known as a '''Turk's Head'''.

== History ==
The Fat Rascal has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. It is believed to have evolved from the plainer [[bun]]s that were common in the Yorkshire region during this period. The name "Fat Rascal" is thought to have been derived from the bun's rich and hearty ingredients, which include [[butter]], [[sugar]], [[flour]], and [[dried fruit]].

== Preparation ==
The preparation of a Fat Rascal involves combining the ingredients into a dough, shaping the dough into individual buns, and then baking them until they are golden brown. The buns are typically decorated with [[almond]]s and [[glace cherry|glace cherries]] before baking, giving them a distinctive and attractive appearance.

== Popularity ==
The Fat Rascal has become a popular treat in many parts of the UK, particularly in Yorkshire where it is often served in traditional [[tearoom]]s. The [[Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate|Bettys]] tearoom chain, in particular, is well-known for its Fat Rascals.

== Variations ==
There are several variations of the Fat Rascal, including the '''Super Rascal''' which is larger and contains more dried fruit, and the '''Skinny Rascal''' which is a lighter, less rich version of the traditional recipe.
