"This is an adopted recipe and after trying it out, I must say I was very surprised on how good it tastes! Kinda homey. I don't dredge it with sugar before or after baking as I don't really need the extra bit of sugar. I used Wildflower honey."

What a wonderful recipe - perfect for Saint David's Day March 1st. I've made them 3 times this week already, I did halve the recipe and it was perfect - still used one egg for the half recipe. Thanks so much!! Patricia

Made these for "Virtual culinary cruise:British Isles and Ireland September 2009. These are lovely little cakes, I would recommend using quite a strong flavoured honey in the recipe to maximise the delicate flavours. The batter is quite stiff, but very easy to put together. I used dark brown sugar as it was all I had and will be making these again. Thanks for posting.

I made these cakes for Ostara celebration. Yum! They were so easy to make and everyone loved them. I couldn't find caster sugar, so I just used powdered sugar.

These are sooooo good. Everyone at work and church loved them when we made them! We topped them with whipped cream and burnt sugar (carmelize sugar with a few drops of lemon juice, then drizzle sugar onto waxed or parchment paper to harden). I did have to double the amount of milk and still the batter was VERY thick, and in a mini muffin tin it makes about 66 delicious little treats!

I used eggs substitutes to eliminate the cholesterol, so I couldn't seperate the yolk and whites of the eggs, but it was still a spectacular little treat. I baked mine in a mini-muffin pan at 400F for 15 minutes. They are really a hit!!

Hey Everyone! Greetings from Sunny Singapore! I'm am so glad to have found this site. It is waaaayyy better than other sites I've been.I have about 240 cookbooks and my faves are the older cookbooks I got from my mom as I prefer from scratch cooking.I have created several cookbooks dedicated to the use of eggs. I have come across a number of recipes requests for using up lots of eggs. So there they are.http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/123897/Backtattoos.jpgThe above is a picture of me at my office's Annual Christmas cum costume party. I won first prize with that orange costume! The one with the (fake) Tattoos was taken in Dec 2007 when I again won first prize. I love spicy food and the many different kinds of chilli dips different foods calls for!!Love baking, cross stitching, trying my hand now in shoe beading and patchwork and now doing a course on aromatherapy. Oh and am now trying to raise a flower and herb garden but it is not easy as I am a newbie at that too!In some of my recipes, you will note that there is a letter in brackets at the beginning of the name. This is what it means :(A) : Aromatherapy/Homeopathic/Less toxicI'm not crazy about recipes using pre-mix cakes as I am a more from-scratch person. My recipes will have the local name (when applicable) as well as the anglicised name, eg "Au Nee (Sweet Yam Paste).If I had a month off, I'd be in Texas.
