---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02 Title: TEISEN MEL ( TRADITIONAL WELSH HONEYCAKE ) Categories: Breads Yield: 1 servings 1/2 lb Plain white household flour 1/2 t Baking powder 1 1/2 t Ground cinnamon 1/4 lb Runny honey 1 T Runny honey 1/4 lb Butter 1/4 lb Caster sugar 2 Large eggs 1 T Milk (or double this amount) Sieve the flour, raising agent and spice into a bowl. Lightly grease a tin pie plate measuring about 8-1/2-inches across the top. Cream the butter with 3 oz sugar until creamy and light. Add the egg yolks then the 1/4 lb honey, gradually. Gently mix in the flour, then the milk. Spread the mixture in the prepared tin, mounding it slightly in the centre, and then bake at 400 F (200 C) gas mark 6 for about half an hour. Let the cake rest in its tin for 2 minutes before turning it out on to a wire rack. Let it cool for 10 minutes then slide it on to a baking tray and brush the top with 1 tablespoon warmed honey - or redcurrant jelly if you prefer. Whisk the egg whites and the remaining 1 oz sugar to make a glossy meringue mixture. Swirl this over the top of the cake and bake at 325 F (160 C) gas mark 3 for about 20 minutes. Serve the cake when it is cold. Makes 1 cake. -----
