Tip

These are best eaten hot, however they will keep for up to 10 days in an airtight container. I used unsalted butter and didn't dust them with caster sugar, - they were sweet enough without the addition of extra sugar This recipe was converted from a book I picked up in Wales called "Flavours of Wales, Puddings and Baking" by Gilli Davies

    From what I found out when we were in Wales, best served with a cup of tea. From what I understand they were also served to guests.  

    Basically, these are a little snack
