Welsh Cakes Recipe / How to Make Welch Cakes

[@clairek5380]

I have a critique for you from a Welshman (my husband) - the spice should be nutmeg, the third one you turned in the second pan full was the perfect colour (although he prefers them with burnt bits like his grandmother used to make) and you absolutely definitely have to sprinkle them with granulated sugar (which mostly won't stick but apparently that's irrelevant) they should not be squishy in the middle, just crumbly. After 27 years together I have yet to make a perfect batch but he has bravely choked down my many efforts in the pursuit of cultural culinary competence.

Oh I love this comment! Good to know I got at least one of them right haha ... I knew somehow I'd get stick for not sprinkling them with sugar - I'll admit I nearly reached for the icing sugar as I thought that would stick better, but figured I'd get even worse critiques for doing that 😂 ... I wish you well in your journey for cultural culinary competence ... maybe I'll get there one day too lol

I laughed out loud when you turned the 1st batch over - good on you for keeping it real. I am a cub leader and always looking for different things to cook on a gas cooker - these will be great. Thanks

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

haha - yes I'm a great believer in keeping things real! But yeah these would be great for wee camp cookers 😊

These look delicious. I’ve never thought about a sweet cake fixed this way I’ve always done savory ones. Thank you for showing how to fix them. I definitely have to try these.

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

Thanks - I didn't quite know what to expect to be honest but they were super yummy, vanished quickly and I'm getting requests for more haha

Have you ever tried making tarkha dhal? Split yellow peas are SO cheap and very nutritious and delicious!!

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

Ohhh no I haven't but I've had dhal recommended to me before just never got around to it - thanks for the reminder must look into this!

[@beeutiffle]

Lovely, I will try these. I was recently in Wales on holiday and tried many variations of flavours. Choc chip ones seemed to be the family favourite. I likes ones with a lemon curd inside amd the traditional fruit ones.

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

Oh yummy I haven't tried other flavours but might have to now ... I bet choc chips would work well!

[@annehowse5394]

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

Thanks 😊

I find using my Sandwich press machine good for making crumpets as it stays the same temperature, I was wondering if it might be an option to use for these if you have one. You just don't shut the lid, so only use one side. So I will be using it to make these. Love your recipes.

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

Oh that's not silly - might have to experiment! Thanks 🙂

[@dubravkabelogrlicdubravka]

I like your recipe. I never made this but I am going to try. Thank you. Cheers

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

Yay let me know how you get on (hopefully a tad less burnt than mine lol!)

[@growtocycle6992]

Could you have a go making chocolate digestive biscuits? 🤤

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

Ohhh I do like those ... will look into it lol 👍

[@growtocycle6992]

Fly cemetery is also a great recipe, although Scottish.

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

Oh that's another I haven't made - thanks for the suggestion! 😊

[@dorothycameron7398]

Have you tried cooking them on a Sandwich maker

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

No unfortunately our sandwich press has grooves in it so wouldn't work that well - but a good plan if you have a flat one lol

[@sylviahufer7019]

Kids approved , they must be good .

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

haha - yep the ultimate taste-testers! P.S. you don't want to know how many hubby polished off when he came home 😂

[@c.w.3750]

Offend away. It's 2024, everyone seems very thinned skinned.

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

haha I know right ... my theory is if I can handle being offended I'm not allowed to joke about anyone else ... so I have a pretty thick skin 😂
