Welsh Cake Recipe
"These little cakes are cooked on a bakestone or maen, that is the stone on which they are griddled. Although bakestones are found in all the Celtic countries, only in Wales do we griddle these sweet cakes. A heavy frying pan works well, but take care not to let the sugar in your Welsh cakes burn. This recipe comes from Gilli Davies. Gilli is the author of the renowned book of Welsh food, Flavours of Wales, published by Graffeg, which was nominated for a Gourmand World Book Award in 2012..."
