Tasty little morsels! Went great with a steaming bowl of split pea soup. Note: These are small (more like a biscuit), so use a smaller muffin tin. And thanks for including the US measurements. Will be making these again. Made for Spring 2013 PAC.

Definitely five stars! Served a couple each of these up with tomato soup for a light dinner - hubby went back for two more! I don't know about Welsh, but you've definitely got two Australian fans!
