TRADITIONAL BRITISH RECIPE: Not many people outside the UK know Welsh Cakes. They are delicious little cakes, plain or flavoured with spice and dried fruit, baked on a griddle, fried or else... and best served warm and sprinkled with sugar. A real Welsh treat.
This recipe for Welsh Cakes will make a basic plain dough.
Home-made Welsh cakes are a lovely accompaniment to Britain’s favourite beverage – a nice cup of tea.
The cakes are also known as bakestones within Wales because they are traditionally cooked on a bakestone, a cast iron griddle about 1.5 cm or more thick which is placed on the fire or cooker; on rare occasions, people may refer to them as griddle scones.
Welsh cakes are served hot or cold dusted with caster sugar. Unlike scones, they are not usually eaten with an accompaniment, though they are sometimes sold ready split and spread with jam, and they are sometimes buttered.
