We all love Welsh Cakes!Welsh cakes are a traditional culinary treat original to Wales. To natives of southern Wales, they are also known as bakestones since they were once cooked on a bakestone over an open fire. Somewhat of a cross between a scone and a biscuit, Welsh cakes are usually cooked on an ungreased, hot griddle today. Welsh cakes are also known by a variety of other names in different regions of Wales, such as Teisen Gymraeg and picau ar y maen. As the English name implies, the center of a Welsh cake is lighter in texture than a standard scone or biscuit.
