Tiessennau Mel Honey Cakes Welsh

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.

Steps

Grease your patty tins.

Sieve together flour , cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda.

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.

Separate the egg yolk from the white.

Beat the yolk into sugar and butter , then add the honey , gradually.

Stir in the flour with a little milk as required and mix all together lightly.

Whisk the egg white into a stiff froth and fold into mixture.

Half fill small patty tins with the mixture.

Dredge the top of each with caster sugar.

Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes.

Watch these little fellows carefully.
