Hey everyone, I hope you’re having an incredible day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a special dish, welsh cakes. One of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
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. Traditionally the spice used was Mace which is a related milder spice but it's more. Native to Wales, as their name suggests, our version of these griddle cakes is slightly sweeter than the original, but in all other respects a fairly close match.
