*Tinker’s Muffins

Tinker’s Cake or “Dinca Fala”  is an old Welsh recipe for an apple threaded version of the more popular Welsh Cake, and was a favourite of iron workers travelling around the South Wales Valleys.  This version has a little added spice with some stem ginger and a sweet apple cider glaze.  Yum! 🙂
