This crumbly mini pancake-like small cakes taste great with jam, dollop of cream, sugar or even plain. Discovered this beautiful Welsh Cake long time ago. Recipes are endless online but only few stood out, like this one from Kimberly at daring gourmet. Recipe can be easily adapted to be more pantry friendly. Original recipe uses lard and mace. Since we don’t take lard, we use butter and when ever we run out of mace, we either get mixed-spice or use nutmeg powder instead.

See pic below. Then, roll to the thickness of a toddler finger. Cut out round using a biscuit cutter. Re-roll all the trimmings and cut all into round discs. Alternatively you can roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment to a thickness of about 1 inch or less

Cooking the cakes - Heat and lightly butter a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the cakes and cook on each side until lightly browned, abt 3 - 4 mins. Use the lowest heat so the cakes are well cooked.

Leave to cool slightly before coating them with sugar (optional). Serve warm as it it or with dollop of cream or your preferred jam. My kids love them with butter spread. Left over Welsh cakes kept well in airtight container. Always Microwave (reheat) before serving.

Marmertaart (Marble Cake) Marmertaart (Marble Cake)
This recipe is old-fashioned marble cake recipe, and as an old-fashioned recipe we like to use margarine (especially Blue Band brand) instead of butter. If you like you can use full butter, or margarine and butter mix with 70-30 ratio.Although we’re using nutmeg and cinnamon in this recipe you can always omit it if you don’t like it, or you can’t find it in your area.This will turn out to be a little dry, and it’s a great match to coffee or tea in the afternoon.

Sugar Cooky Cakes Sugar Cooky Cakes
Another ancient recipe from my Cajun side. My grandmother made her cookies and a sweet pie dough from this recipe. The pie made with this dough has a custard filling. It makes a 2 crust pie. But today, It’s a roll out cooky. They spelled it ‘cooky’ so I will too. It’s a basic recipe for sugar cookies, but add ins are endless. In this batch I added chocolate chips. They’re more like little sugar cooky cakes. Absolutely heavenly. The key to these turning out is to keep the dough ice cold.

Potato cakes with ginger rice Potato cakes with ginger rice
The headline for this recipe should perhaps be longer, but that would involve some French, so I include a comment here instead. The potato cakes are made with a Pâte à choux (light pastry dough).My inspiration for the potato cakes came from Ruhlman's book called Ratio. However, I did veganize his method a bit by replacing half of the eggs with a simple home made chia seed egg replacement mixture (easily found on the internet).The following recipe will make about 9 pretty thick potato cakes (like in the picture above), or about 14 thin ones. Better to make them thinner if you like them a bit more crispy-like (I will do that the next time I make this). After forming, refrigerate the extra potato cakes and cook them the next day or so.I hope you will find the meal as tasty as me.PS: In the picture above I forgot to grind the chia seeds for the potato cakes, and they look a bit like whole peppercorns. It was good nevertheless.
