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 and 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.
