The Welsh Cake That Celebrates The Traditional Day Of Shearing Sheep
BY MICHELLE WELSCH
Shearing cake is a sweet Welsh recipe provided as a form of gratitude to the farmers and workers who shear sheep. The traditional recipe has evolved to include many variations.
Shearing cake is best enjoyed the same day, and the spongy scone-like treat can be enhanced with slatherings of salty butter or generous toppings of Demerara sugar.
