Fat Rascals are simply scones by any other name. ;)
Cheers
Guy

I take it you don’t do a lot of baking Guy  ;)  If you take a look at the op’s recipe you will see 1lb flour to half a pound of butter.  Much richer than a scone mix which has a far lower fat to flour ratio and far less fruit  :)

I was in St Davids over the weekend and enjoyed some Welsh cakes - scrummy - and they seem to be a bit similar to Fat Rascals except the Yorkshire cakes have more milk in the dough?

Welsh cakes are generally flat and Fat Rascals are more domed; lots of photos on the internet.

Feeling hungry now!
