My Welsh Cake Recipe! Easy, Traditional & Delicious!

Is it a cookie? Is it a scone? Is it a pancake? No! It’s a Welsh cake! In this episode, I share my traditional Welsh Cake recipe with you! These gorgeous little tea time treats have such a unique and distinctive texture and taste! The mixed spice adds a lovely warmth and sweetness with just a hint of savouriness. The process of rubbing the fats into the flour gives the cake a flakey layered texture. And the currants add the perfect amount of resistance in each bite. Every Welsh person I’ve had the privilege of meeting here in the UK has been incredibly passionate about their country, as they should be! It’s a green and lush place, with beautiful beaches and stunning mountains. It may be a small country, but it’s a gorgeous one. The celebration of St. David’s Day is a colourful one, filled with yellow daffodils, green leeks, and lots and lots of these delicious little cakes!
