Recipe for Welsh Cakes

I've included the recipe as Horst has requested, it is a very old cookbook as you can see by the date, the scribbles on the page were probably done by one of my daughters. It was the first cookery book I bought.
It cost me 5/- [25p] from Woolworths



Thank you for visiting and please come back, Arlene, Tango and Ruby

  2. I love Welshcakes, but having seen the amount of fat in them I will have to pass sadly, I am diabetic and don't think these will do me any good sadly :( I can drool over your pics though :):)

  3. Arlene, those Welsh Cakes sure sound good. I wish we could get pure lard these days. I've heard it's better for you than butter.

  4. Those old Cookbooks are the best. Thank you for the recipe. One question, what are the mixed spices. We don't have premixed spices here in Canada.

  5. Sorry you can't share the delights of these nice little gems Poppy,
    @GrGran unfortunate that you can't get lard, but I didn't have any so used 90% butter and 10% Marg, they were fine, @ Horst the ingredients on the mixed spice jar is Cassia 40%, Ginger 9% the rest is made up of Coriander,Dill seed, Cloves and Nutmeg, but to be honest it's such a small amount of spice[1/4 teaspoon] you could make up your own.

  7. Sounds yummy and I even have currants in the freezer from my bushes. But what really impressed me was you just took a picture of the recipe to share it. What a great idea instead of writing it all out. I often don't share the recipes simply because I hate typing it all out. But then most of mine that I share are written in my recipe book and the hand writing is terrrible. Anyway thanks for sharing and giving me an idea. Have a wonderful weekend.
