Picau ar y maen (Welshcakes)
Many countries have their own version of this sweet fruity cake cooked on a griddle or bakestone. I bake mine on the same griddle my grandmother used. She was an excellent cook and I think she would have been pleased that I have continued to make these traditional treats.
I'd offer you one now but to really appreciate them at their best, you have to eat one still warm from the cooking. Mmm, heaven.
Welshcakes
1lb plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
10 oz margarine
6 oz caster sugar
8 oz sultanas
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
Pre-heat a greased griddle. Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Rub in the marg and then add the sugar and sultanas. Add the egg and enouhg milk to give a stiff dough. Roll out to a thickness of 1/2". Cut into rounds and bake on the griddle, turning once. (About 3 minutes a side. If the griddle is too hot, the outsides will burn while the inside remains raw.)

Good shot and looks delicious. Have a great weekend.
yum yum, looking good to me
So that’s what Welshcakes are! The look and sound good, but I am no baker. Alas, like the hard rolls I miss from my days in Germany, I suppose I would have to cross the sea (ocean) to sample them.
Well, I don't know what caster sugar is, but I'll try one. SAVE One for ME!!! I'm on my way.
My delicious is served...ummmmm, posted!!!
It's great that you are carrying on the tasty tradition from your grandmother and keepng alive traditional foods
Great idea with the recipe!
Hmmmm I've not had those for ages!
I should have known. Great idea Liz, I haven't had one in years. I'll be right over.
Whee! Thanks for the recipe. I'm going to try it. I can make Welsh cakes!
Similar to scones? They look yummy!!It's not a Weekend;It's a Lifestyle

*drooling like George* - reminds me when my Nana Jones made them. I loved them but haven't had one for ages! I'll be on jmb's tail heading over - get the tea ready! lol
Mmmm, looks great!
Another delicious recipe... I'm walking away from this week's photohunt with a whole book of new things to bake... Thank you! :)
Happy weekend - and a happy New Year, too!

Do you know the recipe for Limoncello? (A Dessert, I believe).
Can I call in for tea? :0)
I don't know what sultanas are, but I bet those cakes are yummy!
Wow.. a recipe even for this delicious thingy
Those look sooo good!!!
Ooh yummy! One of my favourites. I've got a big bag of Welshcakes from Swansea Market sitting in the kitchen, ready for tea time. Thanks for posting the recipe. Every other one I've seen online has included lard, which I refuse to eat (yucky!). I'm buying a griddle soon, so I'll definitely be giving your recipe a try - and I'll remember your tip about not letting the griddle get too hot. Have a great weekend!
My PhotoHunt is up at Siani's Pot-Pourri.
