LLANDDAROG FAIR CAKES

Llanddarog was situated on one of the drover’s routes and a major ingredient of the cakes was beer.    This helped keep them in good condition for a long time on the drovers’ journey to markets or better grazing land.

Ingredients (for approximately 6 cakes):
12 oz / 350 grams self-raising flour
8 oz / 225 grams butter
6 oz / 175 grams sugar
3-4 tablespoons beer
4oz / 110 grams currants, sultanas, raisins or mixed fruit

Method:
Mix the flour and sugar together and rub in the butter, mix in the beer to form a soft dough. Roll out on a floured board to a thickness of quarter to half inch thickness. Cut into rounds and press the fruit into the surface. Cook in a moderate oven (375 deg F / Mark 5) for about 15 minutes.
