Traditional Welsh Recipes

Breads, Biscuits and Cakes.

I really like fresh, well-prepared bread (now you know why there is a collection of bread recipes elsewhere on this site).

I can and do eat it at every meal, as my Dad taught me when I was a kid.

I don't always have the time to make it by hand any more, but I have found that the modern bread-making machines do an excellent job and I urge you to try one, if you have not already done so. They are quite cheap now-a-days, and if you're still a bit short, then sell the alarm clock, because you won't need it any more! I wake up to the smell of bread coking every morning, five minutes before the machine sounds the end of operations with a ping. It's a pleasure to get up to bread you prepared the night before. It will cook over night on a timer that states when it should be ready rather than when cooking should start.

A great investment, which gives pleasure, joy of living and a higher standard of living.

I'll look for a good one and place a review under articles, when I get the time. 

All the best,

Owen.
