Recipe
welsh cakes slice


When I was a little girl I used to love playing the host, hence my parents bought me a tiny princess tea set. At that time, I wasn’t keen on drinking tea, so I filled the teapot with Pepsi and pretended that it’s tea. My sister enjoyed being my guest (She loved drinking Pepsi.) Today my tea time is more fun since I serve it with some Welsh Cakes on the side.

If you have been following my blog posts then by now you know how I cherish the morning me time when I pamper and spoil myself. Well, after working hard the whole week I guess we all deserve some quality me time, don’t you agree?

Welsh Cakes are delicate, delicious, and you don’t need an oven to make these beauties. A non-stick pan or a griddle is all you need to get excellent welsh cakes and in a short time too.

These cakes are similar to scones but are softer in texture and richer in flavor. I like to have my welsh cakes with cream or cherry jam, although it is delightful on its own.

In this recipe, I have used raisins but you can, of course, use dried fruits of your choice.

  • Add the egg and mix well then add the milk. Form into a ball.
  • Flour your working surface. Roll the dough to a ¼ inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or even a glass will do to cut the rolled dough into rounds.
  • Heat a griddle or a pan, keep the heat to medium low. Grease the pan with butter and place the welsh cakes on the pan and leave to cook. Each side might take 3 to 4 minutes to cook.
  • Remove from pan and while warm, dust with castor sugar or confectioners sugar.
