Welsh Cakes


Welsh cakes (picau ar y maen) are traditional Welsh snacks.
The cakes are also known as griddle scones within Wales because they are traditionally cooked on a a cast iron griddle about 1.5 cm or more thick which is placed on the fire or cooker.
Welsh cakes are made from flour, mixed fruit and mixed spice. They are roughly circular, a couple of inches (4–6 cm) in diameter and about half an inch (1–1.5 cm) thick.
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. They are often eaten accompanied by a pot of tea.
