About 4 years ago I got that fed up with a certain famous client in this Country changing the goalposts on us and getting us to continously rewrite Method Statements and Risk Assessments I questioned their projects manager and told him in no uncertain terms that it was my belief no way was anybody reading all this. He assured me he scrutinized every single one. So I left it for a couple of jobs then on the next one I put in a whole extra paragraph which believe it or not was my mothers recipe for Welshcakes I have never heard anything to date and I just leave it in for them waiting for the day for someone to spot it and when they do I will just blame it on a copy and paste typo
This is the paragraph:
It is important that the stone is of good quality and fairly thick to make good welshcakes. You will need a decent quality bakestone rolling pin or milk bottle a pastry cutter and brush. The ingredients needed are a teaspoon of mixed spice half a teaspoon of cinnammon ten ounces of self raising flour six ounces of butter three ounces of caster sugar six ounces of dried fruit one large egg a little milk and a spare numpty of butter. Now with the exception of the fruit sift the dry ingredients together, then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse crumble now add the dried fruit and mix it in thoroughly. Beat the egg lightly and add it to the mixture and mix to a dough add just a spot of milk if its a little dry. Now place the dough onto a lightly floured board or work surface and roll it out with a bottle or floured rolling pin to about a quarter of an inch thick. Using your cutter, cut the dough into rounds by giving it a sharp tap, dont twist the cutter or it will stick continue until all the dough is used up. Then lightly grease the bakestone using a pastry brush smeared with butter. Heat the bakestone over a medium heat and cook the cakes for about 3 minutes on each side. If they look like they are browning too quickly lower the temperature of the hob because you want them golden brown and cooked through.
