Aberffraw Cake Or Shortbread
(Teisen "Berffro")

The cakes were originally baked in scallop shells, hence the scallop markings. 'Berffro' is short for Aberffraw, in Anglesey, the seat of the old Welsh Parliament.

1. Rub the butter into the flour and sugar and continue kneading without adding any moisture until you have a smooth, pliable paste.
