My new sweet-tooth fix: Welsh cakes

Posted on March 13th, 2010 by Laura Byrne Paquet in Food

I’m just back from Wales and will put up some longer posts about my trip soon, but in the meantime I had to share my latest pastry addiction with you: Welsh cakes.

"welsh cakes"Yummy-looking, yes?

They’re a bit like flattened scones and they are maddeningly addictive. I came to crave one at every tea break during my conference.

In case you’d like to sample them yourself, here’s a yummy-sounding recipe for Welsh cakes from JoyOfBaking.com.

But when you can’t stop eating them, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

By the way, what fattening habits have you come back with after travelling? Let me know in the comments section.
