How far back can this rhyme be traced? Have Peter and Iona Opie written about this rhyme? -- The Anome 13:57, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Patty Cake Pans edit
Taking a cue from the rhyme, a modern shallow muffin tin, often with a rounded bottom, are called "patty cake" pans, but I have no idea when they first appeared. Janko (talk) 11:13, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
Mark it With... edit
I'm nearly sure that the original version was...
Roll it in flour and mark it with TEA.
When you brush tea on bread it leaves a dark stain after baking, and can be used to write initials onto a loaf to distinguish it from the other ones.
Probably people heard "T" instead of tea., not knowing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DHBoggs (talk • contribs) 19:45, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Baby? edit
When I was a toddler, I remember hearing "for baby and me" instead of "for baker and me". There should be more research into these alternative lyrics JayBirdtyper (talk) 02:30, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
