Harry has been on Poppit Sandslately, on Lifeguard duty.

Close by is Gwbert and flicking through the 'Nita Sybil Evans' cookbook, I found this recipe for 'Gwbert Cakes'. It was written about 1940 and is very plain, probably because it was war-time. These cakes aresimilar to 'Welsh Cakes', but without the currants and spices.

Gwbert Cakes

Ingredients:6 oz- (150 gm)SR Flour

2 oz - (50gm) sugar

1 oz- (25gm) butter

1 egg

Pinch salt

Method: Rub butter into flour. Add the rest of the ingredients. Roll out and cut into circles. Fry in a little butter. Serve sprinkled with sugar.

Now try some Welsh cakes:

3 oz (75 gm) butter

The method is the same as for Gwbert Cakes.

('Frimpan' is whatI call the frying pan in Welsh).
