You’ll need:

- A splash of whatever the merry hell ReddiEgg in a carton is.
- Raisins
- Sugar
- Canola 0g Transfat Harvest Margerine

- Self-Rising Flour
- Mix up flour and marge. Half a pound of marge to a pound of flour…
- Blend it.
- Mix in 4 Tablespoons of sugar.
- Add mixed spice, cinnamon.
- Beat the egg and milk & mix it into the flour/marge/sugar stuff.
- Add your raisins/ dried fruit.
- If it’s too wet still, add more flour.
- Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.Cut it with a shape cutter, or something round.
- Heat an ungreased, non-stick frying pan up to around 3 (out of 10 on the dial)
- Heat each side for about 3 minutes till golden brown…
- Test them on the dog.
- Wait 10 minutes. If the dog’s still okay. Try one yourself.
I’m wondering what’s going to be served up in the ads that accompany this post…

They look sweet. I’m gonna have a try myself today.
Hi Gwyn- the pasteles cymraeg turned out very well. You’ve got the recipe in your genes…….

Does that mean there’s a slight error in my genes then Mum?
I thought the ads would be for Welsh heritage sites, turns out they’re for losing weight… Must have mentioned margarine, eggs and sugar too much
