Granny's Welsh Cakes image

This recipe was given to my grandmother many, many years ago by an old Welsh lady. They are a family favorite in all generations. They are different from the other recipes listed here as they do NOT have milk--eggs are the only liquid.

I'm not a huge fan of Welsh cakes, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The cakes were light and fluffy, and the fruit filling was delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

I'm not a fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The Welsh cakes still turned out delicious. I love the crispy edges and the soft, fluffy centers. I'll definitely be making these again.

These Welsh cakes were a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked them. I'll try again with a lower oven temperature next time.

These Welsh cakes are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I used a mix of apples, raisins, and currants. They turned out so moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.

These Welsh cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time. Other than that, they were delicious. The texture was perfect and the fruit filling was flavorful.

These Welsh cakes were a bit of a disappointment. The dough was too dry and the cakes were crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough. I'll try again with a different recipe.
