Welsh cakes

Or you can use a baking stone in which they use in Wales then you get it perfect lol my mum and dad were welsh and my mum always use to make them on the stone she found it the best you can pick them up for about 5.00 they are black. Thanks for the reciepe and video lol

Thanks Morgana
I can't seem to get the video link clickable - you have to paste it into the address bar

It wont click on this site Richard it does on the other site I go on but not this one. thanks for the advice

look good richard, i will check that out tomoz when more alert lol

We use to have them without the caster sugar taste better. the stones are well worth buying they cook a lot better I thought before I seen the video a gridle! no a stone lol

Thanks Sandra I can recommend them.
I believe that the iron ones are called griddles (or stones- even though they are made of metal ) Morgana, as the welsh usually call the welshcakes 'bakestones' -thats what all my family call them - either way they taste great -we are always making them :-)

Pleases you enjoy them I have since a child he he no gridle is different to the black baking stone.

My mother made them on a bakestone. I used to steal them when they were still hot.

:O Hywel lol I think we all did Hywel show how short and rare we got treats. My mum tried making them on a gridle and frying pan, she said they don't cook as good.

No you can only make them on a bakestone. They don't taste right otherwise. And you must always use the same bakestone and never wash it in soapy water - only wipe it over.

Yes you are right Hywel as she got a neighbour to fetch her one back from Wales, and never as a child do I ever remember her washing it up, nor me as I use to have to most of the washing up as there were 7 of us not counting my mum and dad .

Thanks Hywel and Morgana,my grandmother had a bakestone then she gave it to my mother don't know where it is now I suppose on of my other brothers has it.
Thanks all for your words.

If you want one I have seen them on Amazon for sale at 5.00

Thanks Morgana we have a heavy griddle, not a bakestone as such but it works OK.

Thats good then

I love Welsh cakes but my favourite, and one which when I am in Wales I always seek out a small bakers to buy it in, is Bara Brith. Mmmmmmmm.

Oh yes Bobg very tasty. I'm not too keen on lava bread tho'

I had never heard of Welsh cakes before you introduced me to them. I enjoyed the video, and your Welsh cakes look very good!
