Tiessennau Mel (honey Cakes) Welsh image

This is an adopted recipe and after trying it out, I must say I was very surprised on how good it tastes! Kinda homey. I don't dredge it with sugar before or after baking as I don't really need the extra bit of sugar. I used Wildflower honey.

I had some trouble getting the honey cakes to brown evenly. I think I should have rotated the pan more often.

These honey cakes are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more milk or butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of honey, but I really enjoyed these honey cakes. The honey flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

I had some trouble getting the honey cakes to rise. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
