Tiessennau Mel (honey Cakes) Welsh image

This is an adopted recipe and after trying it out, I must say I was very surprised on how good it tastes! Kinda homey. I don't dredge it with sugar before or after baking as I don't really need the extra bit of sugar. I used Wildflower honey.

Yield 30-36 little cakes, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces honey
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 ounces butter or 4 ounces margarine
4 ounces brown sugar
caster sugar
1 egg
2 -3 tablespoons milk
1/2 lb flour

  • Grease your patty tins.
  • Sieve together flour, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda.
  • Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Separate the egg yolk from the white.
  • Beat the yolk into sugar and butter, then add the honey, gradually.
  • Stir in the flour with a little milk as required and mix all together lightly.

  • Half fill small patty tins with the mixture; dredge the top of each with caster sugar.

These honey cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not usually a fan of honey cakes, but these were surprisingly good. The honey flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I would definitely make them again.
