Welsh Cakes

In Brief

Prep Time : 10 minutes

Cooking Time : 8 minutes

Serves : 20

When someone asks what recipes have come from Wales, you can proudly give this one to them. They are really simple to make and magnificent if eaten still hot!

I’ve adjusted the ingredients just slightly as us chefs do, (we like to make a mark see) by replacing some of the caster sugar with a bit of demerara sugar. This adds a lovely layer of molases to the flavours.
