词源

Said to date back to Henry VIII when he witnessed some of the Queen’s maids of honour eating some cakes and demanded to taste one. He found them delicious and named them after the maids. However, there is another theory that they were named after Anne Boleyn, a maid of honour at the time, who made the cakes for Henry VIII.
