Traditional Welsh Cakes Recipe | Cupcake Jemma

[@jennyjones2571]

My grandmothers welsh cakes were legendary. She used butter on the ‘plank’ and as they came off the heat (not quite cooked) she put them straight in a tin box with kitchen paper to soak up the condensation. They were perfect! She made them every week and if we were going on holiday or there was a wedding or funeral, she used to send a tin. I was in the Met police and when I came home, I used to take a tin back to London and everyone on my relief used to surround me at tea time. It’s taken me 50 years and I think I’ve cracked it! I can make my nana welsh cakes just like she did.

[@miaschu8175]

My Nan made Welsh cakes on a griddle (or a girdle - they're also called girdle cakes) when I was a little girl. She used to put more currants in and nearly always managed to burn them a little 😄 Somehow, Welsh cakes don't taste right unless they've caught at the edges. I'm feeling nostalgic, now, for my grandparents and their Welsh voices, and a cwtch up 😊 I have to say, it made my morning, seeing Jemma's beautiful baby.

[@MiriamPaschal]

So great to see Jemma for a bit. And thank you to Sally, who is amazing. Can't say that enough.

[@AFunnyNameHere]

Yes welsh cakes! Being welsh, I make these all the time on my griddle as a snack, and me and my other half made them on our first date. 🥰 I will say, it’s almost necessary to have mixed spice in your welsh cakes rather than cinnamon, and you’ll get a much better result doing them on a griddle rather than in a frying pan, you’ll get better cooking marks. You can do them with all sorts of fillings too, I’ve found dark chocolate is nice, and at a Christmas - white chocolate and cranberry! So glad welsh cakes are suddenly being re-discovered!

[@amy3971]

Another Welsh person here; I love white chocolate and cranberry, also dark choc and crystallised ginger is lovely x

[@amy3971]

Can I ask actually, do you do yours with butter or lard?

[@AFunnyNameHere]

@@amy3971 I do mine with butter. I don’t often come across lard! Also I use a teaspoon of honey instead of milk otherwise I find they go a bit claggy. Nothing worse than a welsh cake that sticks to the roof of your mouth!

[@amy3971]

@@AFunnyNameHere I do mine with butter too but I’ve seen recipes that call for lard and say it’s more traditional. I don’t know if that’s true, but I don’t fancy it. Glad to hear I’m not the only one. Good tip about the honey!

[@fedupwelsh7211]

@@amy3971 I’ve been cooking welsh cakes for decades following my mam’s recipe...not written, more word of mouth. She always used a little lard mixed with mostly butter. That small amount of lard seems to help with the shortness of the welsh cake and it’s not noticeable in the taste. Another way to eat them is to split them along the natural line(a bit like scones) and smear a little jam inside. Yum yum.

[@ladysallyhyde6755]

Mixed spice rather than cinnamon, and try adding just a handful of dessicated coconut to your mix. You don't really taste it but it keeps them really moist. As I have an induction hob, I cannot use my very old bakestone anymore, but use an electric frying pan, which works really well.

[@laurenbray8314]

I've always wanted to try Welsh cakes.
