I am a nostalgic old bean if you hadn't noticed so when Wren got in contact asking me to take part in their #WrenFamilyFavourites campaign I was completely on board. I've been baking for as long as I can remember and I know my mum and my granny were a massive influence. Wren asked me to share one of my favourite family recipes so here it is. This recipe for Welsh cakes is from my Welsh Granny's cookbook, unfortunately she's no longer with us but I distinctly remember always having these when we went to visit my grandparents and they bought back found memories whilst making them. I'm a quarter Welsh so I hope she's proud of how these have turned out and happy that her recipe is being shared around!
Ingredients:
1 lb (450 grams) self raising flour
8 oz (225 grams) margarine
6 oz (170 grams) sugar
3 oz (85 grams) currants/raisins

Pinch of salt
Little milk

Sieve flour into bowl and rub in margarine.

Thanks to Wren for let me being involved in this campaign. You can check out all the other blogger's recipe
