Welsh cakes

[Nicensleazy]

My wife and daughter have spent this afternoon in the kitchen making Welsh cakes......yum! Just got back from a long bike ride and now having a hot mug of tea and a plate of Welsh cakes!

Well I don't know what Welsh cakes are but I certainly wouldn't knock 'em till I've tried 'em.
I had a couple of jam filled scones and a large mug of coffee after my ride today and I still have the taste in my mouth. Lovely.

My Church home group had Welsh Cakes last wednesday in memory of the hosts husband who was Welsh and died just over a month ago and St Davids day which was last Sunday. Very nice they were to.

A lass at work made some fresh at lunchtime last Friday, ate-em straight off the griddle... perfect!

What is a welsh cake?

Like a currant scone, but much thinner and cooked on a griddle. Then you butter the top and eat them.

Imagine a scone about 1 cm high and you're pretty much there.

Thank the Lord for Welsh cakes!

You can use a thick frying pan to make them.

I had a gingerbread man yesterday. He was armless, then legless, and then he completely lost his head.

So , a bit like what I had only thinner ?

My mother, bless her, makes two sorts of Welsh cake. One sort with currants, the other sort plain but split in half with jam in the middle. Needless to say they don't last long when I visit!

Oooh, welshcakes. Dribble....

No need for butter though. The best I ever had were from a health food shop in Westbourne (which is part of Bournemouth). They were sold from a plate on the counter and were homemade. God they were good...
