TIESSENNAU MEL (HONEY CAKES) WELSH



Tiessennau Mel (honey Cakes) Welsh image

This is an adopted recipe and after trying it out, I must say I was very surprised on how good it tastes! Kinda homey. I don't dredge it with sugar before or after baking as I don't really need the extra bit of sugar. I used Wildflower honey.
