obviously we couldn't embark on a food tour of the UK without visiting the rolling valleys of Wales which is why we've created locate our Welsh cakes are pretty simple in method but we're gonna mix up the flavors a little bit so I'm not your highly traditional and then we're gonna serve it with strawberries and cream Wimbledon yeah great brilliant it's best to start with flour in first then some cold diced butter yep and then rub it together same as you would a crumb ball we're going to the crumbly mixture their crumbly varied from like mixture basically very similar ingredients unlike scones yet which you might get in the West Country with cream tea afternoon tea don't start me on afternoon tea you have a bit of a sauce or a little bit you have a I have a big hunger hole for afternoon tea here's a London tip if you don't live here and you're visiting London then do go to one of the big hotels one of the posh ones and have an afternoon tea a bit pricey but you get treated like a princess it's nice brilliant how's that looking probably not very well I was too busy focused on that afternoon tea chat I think that's good we have to get that ankle so yeah Welsh cakes quite similar to scones or stones so put like griddle cakes as well yeah who cares what they're cold they're gonna be delicious they are because we're gonna sweeten them with sugar and then natural sweetener in the form of Sultana so they could all go in by all means keep it traditional and go for mixed spice alternatively I'm gonna make me a little bit fresher to go with our strawberry and Pimm's oh my goodness look I'll go that stuff of a bottom of my fish tank it's a list of a lemon and lavender one tablespoon is enough for this whole mixture and it gives it a beautiful fragrance it's just unbelievable the last ingredient know I love the world scapes I love the Welsh I bought my car and Wales there's an interesting fact but interesting them yes at this stage it's really soft dough so flour a work surface and then we're gonna roll it out to the thickness of about a centimetre is quite a wet dough just tossing enough flour just be able to make sure it doesn't stick you can't roll it out potentially so they work Pat it that's a cake Pat a cake I think grab yourself a cutter and for now we just want three so just kind of cut down loosen them up and they should all be there for equal in size the important thing this is the only difficult part about making world is a regulated pants not too hot so on the dial do I go top middle bottom definitely middle middle middle definitely middle and have it on for good while before you need it so it's completely at asset level and it's not fluctuating and then dry pan and these just go into that your dry planning it yeah good or cakes well they originally were done on a cast-iron griddle pan yeah just an open fire or something that and this mix unlike puff pastry or something where you could be careful about not recyclable when they're bouncing up layers this way and just roll it back out and keep going so we can rolled out three more I've done some research on well cakes and and okay so traditional recipe but there's lots of variations of them there's one called the Newport Welsh cake which is from Newport which is an area not in LA and traditionally the inhabitant males of Newport would propose to their girlfriends by giving the gift of a Welsh cake that's a lot cheaper than a ring then there's the Welsh Mountain which has a Welsh name which is minute to come rate very good your work is coming along and it basically it's called the mountain because it rises with a double isn't the amount of baking powder in it yeah so it rises up like a mountain just at this point non-stick pan is great no fat and just slide underneath the cakes to fit them over and they'll cook for the same on the other side I spot some strawberries and cream there see a bit of a anglo-welsh crossover coming along well this is where we start to celebrate Wimbledon storms and cream marriage made in heaven so if you can take those be hold them or hold them hold them which is just take out the green bit and then slice them while you're doing that I'm gonna whip up some cream a little bit of icing sugar just to sweeten it and a shot Pimm's strawberries go back into a bowl to surf I saw my first badger in Wales what yep my auntie's to have a chalet in Wales and we used to go there on holiday and Badgers used to come out at night Wow think about Welsh knowledge if you have any additional Welsh knowledge then please comment below right and have a look at these I think they could've done with another 30 seconds because that's the color we're looking for so another 30 seconds on that side and there we go these ones finished two beautiful golden basket up fluffy John Pimm's Pimm's cream strawberries on the side there is our take on Welsh cakes with some lavender from the hills sorted I'm just gonna go for a simple tear and a dunk look at that nice and spongy oh there's the lavender the lemon and all the sugar it's not quite so floral and potpourri it's you know it's not at all it's not soapy I mean people's got to cope with anything but that cream is delicious and you can taste the citrus but I love them I love these sort of softness of that lavender sounds really weird but it's a really smooth sort of it's floral but it's not overpowering and you know you yeah you you live in the country so why not tell us what your country's afternoon delight is you
