    I followed recipe exactly with the exception of dairy free butter. Mixture is very sticky so don't expect to use cutters. I put my mixture in the fridge for 20 mins first to firm up. Also traditionally dusted with caster sugar when they are still warm, not icing sugar.

    This recipe worked well, my wife is a celiac and the welsh cakes were very welcome. I didn't add the Xanthum Gum, or Vanilla . The excellent method above worked really well ( don't try and roll it out, or use a cutter ). Watch the colour when cooking. I highly recommended you making these.
