Granny's Welsh Cakes image

This recipe was given to my grandmother many, many years ago by an old Welsh lady. They are a family favorite in all generations. They are different from the other recipes listed here as they do NOT have milk--eggs are the only liquid.

I made these Welsh cakes gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out really well!

I'm allergic to raisins, so I substituted dried cranberries in these Welsh cakes. They turned out great!

These Welsh cakes are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Welsh cakes didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked them.
