Cardiff [Wales, United Kingdom]

And a service charge of only 5%. Is that the going rate in South Wales or just a bargain from this place?

I need to order some Dan Dan noodles.

Everything looks good.

Have you had any Welsh Cakes?

I may make some for St David’s Day on March 1.

Twas ok for the price.

This was the only place we went to this visit with an automatic service charge.

No, not yet had bought ones though there is a very famous Welsh cake stall in Cardiff Market selling the classic kind as well as many different variations.

I have an authentic recipe from an authentic Welshwoman - I use this recipe to make Welsh cakes at home. Need to dig out the recipe for St David’s Day.

ETA:

As promised, here is the Davies Family Welsh Cake recipe!

Everyone seems to make them a bit differently, but this is our version straight from the little recipe box in my parents kitchen…

12 oz self raising flour

1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 heaped teaspoon baking powder

4oz caster sugar

6oz butter

(Rub all these ingredients together)

Now add:

4oz currents/Sultanas

1 large egg

Add milk if mixture too dry until it sticks together.

Bring it together with your hands, then roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface, and cut out in circles.

Cook on each side (until the inside is cooked) on a skillet/frying pan oiled with butter.

Sprinkle with caster sugar while still hot.. and eat some of them!.. or have them cold with salted butter.

They’ll keep in a tin at room temp for a week, if they last that long!

I made this batch on Shrove Tue 2023.

I tried 4 different Welsh Cakes on my short 4 day visit to Wales, years ago.
