Welsh Cakes

Learnt from a party which was held by British Council which is English learning school Jun goes to.

This is very traditional cakes in Wales area in UK. The texture is like between cookies and scorns. Although this is enough super high carolies and sweet, in Wales, they enjoy eating them with some fruits jam/cream together. Wow!

I like "allspices" flavour. It's new flavour for me :D
