Submitted by Angela Sara

"This is a Welsh recipe that I haven't tried yet. I'm trying to collect as many Welsh recipes as I can and where better than to share them here! My Mamgu (Grandmother) was a great baker but she kept all of her recipes in her head and didn't write anything down! She didn't own a scales either but managed to get the proportions just right!! I vaguely remember this one, but the weights may not be spot on!"
