Glad you both enjoyed the cakes... flower my Mother's family were from the Rhonda and my sister lives in a tiny seaside village near Tenby so yes Welsh origins here.. I don't have a griddle to bake them on but find a heavy frying pan does a decent enough job.. how do you bake them? I use my grandma's recipe as told by my Mum..

Oh, thank you, flower. They are delicious. I'll make that my lunch as well!

bagitha Virtual ones on the way. Unfortunately I had to try a couple so I shall say that they were lunch and only have some fresh pineapple now. They seem to be about the cheapest fruit both here and in many parts of the UK at the moment. tanith Are you of welsh origin. I am. Not that you have to be to make welshcakes. I even use a Delia recipe for them. Although I cut down the quantity of sugar. Good baking.

My friends here in SW France love welshcakes and spending an hour or so making a big pile is soothing and helps keep you warm. This is what I have been doing this morning. It was -12C at 8 am.
