Welsh Cakes are the perfect breakfast on the feast day of their native country's patron saint, St. The recipe doesn't clearly state this but when baked on a griddle these scones have to be flipped so as to end up with two bottoms. In the suggested quantity I think that is overpowering.

I love baking on my old griddle, it is about sixty years old and was my grandmother's, and many a pancake, hot cake, Welsh cake or singin' hinny I have seen my grandmother. Welsh cakes (Welsh: picau ar y maen, pice bach, cacennau cri or teisennau gradell), also bakestones or pics, are traditional in Wales. The cakes are also known as griddle cakes or bakestones within Wales because they are. Delicious served warm with butter and jam, or simply sprinkled with caster sugar. Welsh Cakes ~ they're cooked on a griddle like a pancake, but can be eaten out of hand like a scone ~ these sweet, buttery little breakfast cakes are a Welsh tradition that deserve a spot on your brunch or tea table!
