  • Reviews

  • “Just like my Granny use to make but she.d swop raisins for currants occasionally.”

  • “Been years since I made these, still taste the same, great!!”

  • “These are fabulous, exactly what I was looking for and remembered from having eaten in wales.I highly recommend.”

  • “Cut the sugar to 3oz for this recipe. Use 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder and you will find 1 egg is sufficient. If you use sef raising flour, you don’t need the baking powder or the egg.”

  • “I’d just replace 4oz margarine & 4oz of lard with 8 oz of BUTTER!YUMMY!”
