Can I BEG you to email me the photocopied version of YOUR BOOK?! I’m using a grain mill, and thus, what we are now calling “whole flour” and with that cake in the oven, I have some VERY high hopes your Welsh cookbook is my Holy Grail! Conversely, you could just share with everyone... and I just realized I forgot the orange zest/candied orange peel! Maybe I can google a quick orange flower water glaze... Thank You!
