I wonder if this recipe can't be made with simple (cooking) margarine or so. <br /><br />Anyway, have fun making them and hope they taste as good as ever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-7763129211066992012011-05-08T08:15:17.433-04:002011-05-08T08:15:17.433-04:00I totally know what everyone means about the lard ...I totally know what everyone means about the lard - that was a hard one for me. Welsh Cakes can be made with Crisco, but not with vegetable shortening. They come out like hockey pucks. But lard and the cakes freeze well. I freeze them and eat them a little at a time.<br />BookGirl- just eat them like a cookie, great with a cup of tea.<br />By the way, mine didn't come out as well as<br />my mom's. I think they needed her special touch.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-16520813598472168472011-05-07T17:42:02.650-04:002011-05-07T17:42:02.650-04:00A very meaningful treat for Mother's Day!
