English Translation

The cacen blât (literally 'plate cake') is very much a Welsh speciality and both my mother and grandmother made versions of this cake with just about any and every fruit filling imaginable. Though bilberries, blackberries, apples, gooseberries and rhubarb were the staples.

Ingredients:

400g bilberries, picked clean (or enough to fill the pie)
200g granulated sugar
sufficient pastry for a 25cm diameter pie


Method:

Begin by rolling out half the pastry thin enough to cover the base of an oven-proof plate. Now add the bilberries before sprinkling the sugar over the top. Roll the remaining pastry out, cover the plate and bilberries then use a fork to crimp the pastry edges. Trim off any excess pastry, prick the top of the pie with the fork and sprinkle a little sugar over the top then place the cake in an oven pre-heated to 170°C. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden (but not too dark). Bring out of the oven, allow to cool then cut into sections and serve. This pie goes excellently well with ice cream.
