Aboard Mitt Romney Campaign Plane, Baking Tips From Ann

CINCINNATI — Surprising the press with a basket filled with her homemade Welsh cakes, Ann Romney paused to chat fashion, cooking and her sons’ penchant for pranks.

“Don’t you wish I had this basket yesterday?” she said, navigating the aisle of her husband’s campaign plane that was about to take off for Florida.

Asked whether she would ever reveal the recipe for the treat, which she was photographed baking in bulk the night before she and Romney left for the RNC last week, Romney said she’d rather offer a cooking demonstration.

“You know, I don’t want to give the recipe until I show someone how to make them, because then no one will be able to make them right,” she said. “It’s not in the recipe, it’s the in the making of them. It’s in the cooking of them. What you do with the griddle, and you can’t cook them too long and you can’t roll them out too thin.”

Then Romney asked a question of her own: What did the press think of the dress she wore during her RNC speech — a fire-engine red Oscar de la Renta gown.

“We really wanted the girls to help me with the dress for my speech, but did I do OK?” she asked, as reporters nodded and asked what her other options had been.

“The dress that I wore when Mitt accepted on Thursday night, and there are a couple of others that you haven’t seen yet. Saving them for what, I don’t know,” she said.

And, I Found this:

A Welsh Man Says: Ann Romney’s Welsh Cakes Are All Wrong

In the campaign's latest attempt to remind us that the Romneys are just like the rest of us, Mitt's "body man" recently tweeted a photo of Ann Romney baking "her famous Welsh cakes" for delegates in Tampa. She reportedly tweaked a recipe handed down from her Welsh grandmother. No! This is wrong!

As a Welsh man (born in Cardiff) who spent his childhood burning the roof of his mouth on Welsh cakes sneaked off the cooling rack a minute too early in the kitchen of his paternal grandmother's rural Welsh home, I'm here to tell you that Ann Romney's cakes are no good. No good at all.

Now, Ann's dough looks okay — it's the right color and appears to be the right consistency, though I would suggest using more raisins — but the way she used that dough is incorrect. Ann's problem is size: Her cakes are far too thick. You need to fry Welsh cakes just so — long enough to see a rich brown color on the outside and, crucially, to cook through the whole mix, but without burning the crust. There shouldn't even be a "crust," really.

12. Right color and right consistency, sure. But is it the right height?

[renate]

15. nice!

[appleannie1]

16. They should only be about a quarter inch thick when you put them on a medium griddle

[appleannie1]

14. Welsh cakes are like scones only cooked on a griddle instead of baked.

[Siwsan]

17. Photo of Annie 'cooking' those cakes

Really???? Can we all say 'staged' photo op???? This woman gets on my very strained Welsh nerve!!

[sad sally]

19. Staged, staged, staged - wearing a campaign t-shirt no less. My gawd...now I am gonna' heave.

18. I always liked Hillary Clinton's remark--"I don't stay home and bake cookies."
