Grandma's Recipe Cards: Welsh Cakes

Welcome back to another episode of Recipes from the Side of the Fridge! Join us in the kitchen as we revisit a cherished family recipe for Welsh Cakes, passed down from a dear friend's grandmother in Wales. Despite facing criticism for our adaptations over the years, we're excited to share this nostalgic treat with you. From hand-written recipe cards to modern modifications, come along on our journey of culinary heritage and personalization.

I will once again be flying in the Give Hope Wings fundraiser this year! Our June of 2024 flight will see us stop in many communities in Eastern Canada to raise awareness for this worthy cause.
Last year 2023 we raised over $27,000 towards helping our neighbours - we made a positive difference in the lives of many.
