Authentic Welsh cakes

Happy St David’s Day everyone!  Today is the day of the Welsh Cake.  These beautiful airly little drops of deliciousness are everywhere in Wales today and I hope everyone has the chance to enjoy them. But if not, why not make your own?  This recipe is a tried and tested, passed down the generations recipe and can be made with entirely plastic free ingredients.  The trick is to have the proper equipment for this.  A good, old fashioned, thick based griddle pan is essential for them to work properly.  Good luck.

Thank you to Gail for donating this recipe (although I have doctored it slightly according to what I had in my cupboards).  Makes 6 biscuits so double up if you are catering for more.

Chocolate fruit & nut bars

Have you ever tried one of those Nakd bars? They are pretty tasty but unfortunately they come wrapped in plastic. So, thanks to one of our lovely customers, I am able to share with you a recipe for your very own fruit bar, and these truly are ‘naked’. This is a really simple recipe which is gluten free, vegan, and sugar free. But I assure it, they don’t taste well behaved. Eating these gives me my sweet snack fix for the day.  The dates give these bars a deliciously fudgey taste and I assure you they are a great way to pack in some healthy sugars if you are planning on climbing any mountains.
