      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

My mum was welsh.  

Valentines doesnt need to be about romantic love.  Welsh cakes, to me, mean family love, love of tradition and memories that evoke the feeling of love or to be loved.

These are DELICIOUS!!!!  Please make and enjoy these tmrc_emoticons.)

Welsh cakes are a traditional sweet treat.

National Cwtch Day (cuddle) is 25 January.

St Davids Day (Patron Saint of Wales) is 1 March.

Welsh wooden love spoons are given as presents at weddings and milestone birthdays.
