I am very proud of myself that I was able to clean up really well after #WelshCakeORama. Only didn't mop the floor & finish cleaning the kitchen sink. Now I'm shattered & have to go do #Eldercare the rest of the night. Whee!

Annual #WelshCakeORama complete. Only made 3 batches this year. Still a whole bunch of labour. #WelshCakes #StDavidsDay #Wales #CymruAmByth
I have never been less motivated for #WelshcakeORama for #StDavidsDay tomorrow than I am. At least I don't have many to make this year. I used to make thousands to take to work & give to friends but with all the friends who have disappeared & no one at work to worry about just neighbours really.
White table with tan dough dotted with currants rolled out wood rolling pin next to it, another dough ball nearby waiting to be rolled out
Dough cut out in small fluted round shapes that look like little cookies piled on a plate to the left to the right 10 of them cooking on a black griddle on top of the black stove.
Just flipped Welsh Cakes golden brown on one side, still on the black griddle on the black glass top stove cooking on the other side
124 Welsh Cakes all cooked to a golden brown and stacked on a cooling rack, dusted with fine sugar.
Annual #WelshCakeORama in the books. 124 #WelshCakes done & dusted. Way less than any other year, but no job, friends mostly disappeared means neighbors & PT office will get most of them. #Wales #StDavidsDay #CymruAmByth

Ok, I definitely burned a lot of #WelshCakes trying to figure out which temp setting worked with vintage griddle but finally figured it out and #WelshCakeOrama is done for the year. #StDavidsDay

Ok, #WelshCakeOrama prep done. Just waiting for new range to be delivered/installed so I can cook them! #StDavidsDay #WelshCakes
Happy #StDavidsDay! Let the #WelshCakeOrama commence! Here is a good recipe if you're interested. www.daringgourmet.com/traditional-... I use Welsh Butter because I don't usually remember to get lard. And Mixed Spice is better than just nutmeg & mace.
