Hugh's Views & News 
Oops – I lost my comment which went into cyberspace I think. I scrolled thru the comments to see if these treats were like an English muffin or a scone. I like scones – my mom made them and they’re more popular in Canada where I grew up, than here in the States. We’d eat them plain or with butter and jam. They look delicious Hugh. Here is my post about a gosling who bit off a dandelion and was enjoying it.

Welsh cakes are like a flat fruit scone, Linda. I eat mine plain (as they come) but some people like to spread them with butter and jam.
Now I wish I had a scone, but I’ve never seen them here, Mom is long gone and I’m not a baker. I will have to get another “sweet fix” I guess.
I learned to make these from a Welsh fellow. They are very good. He taught me to make them in a skillet!
I have heard of people baking them in a skillet. Well one for giving them a go.
Oh yummy! When I visited London, I remember having scones but I’ve not heard of Welsh cakes until your post.
Other than in Wales, they’re not very well-known, Eugi. However, there are lots online recipes for them.
Did you make these Hugh 💜
No, these were in the Welsh Cake shop in Cardiff, Willow. I have made some, but they were rather on the dry side.
I hope you bought some then 💜💜
Oh, yes. We always buy quite a lot when we visit Cardiff.
Yum, yum 😋
Suddenly I am hungry !😃😃
And I can understand why.
Never had ’em! Of course, I’ve never been to Wales but did meet a trio of lovely Welsh ladies the last time I was in London.
It seems they’re not well known outside of the UK. We welsh get everywhere. I remember once (when in North America), which part of Scotland was Wales.
Ooh yes please 😋
Please, help yourself.
They look so good and I am sure, they were 😋
They were, especially when washed down with a mug of tea.
Oh, I bet!!
Glad someone asked the question because I hadn’t heard of Welsh cakes before.
I guess they are only well-known in the UK, but there are lots of online recipes for them.
This is something I have not made yet and would love to try it. I will have to find a recipe to try it out as it does look outstanding.

Lots of online recipes for them, Esme. Here in Wales, family recipes for them are handed down the generations.
I will have to hunt for the best one, unless you possibly have one to share with me.
I’m afraid I don’t. My sister now has the recipe handed down from my grandmother.
No worries, I will see what I can find
I do love a Welsh cake, though I’ve never made them. We often take a packet on holiday to present to our hosts if they live outside Wales.
I’ve only ever made them once, but they were a little dry. However, my niece makes them all the time and I get a tin of homemade welsh cakes every birthday. Hers are much better than the ones I made. They don’t last long.
That’s a great birthday present. I hope it’s a large tin!!
Oh those look delicious, Hugh!
Great with a pot of English breakfast tea, Colleen.
They look wonderful. Are they like shortbread? Sorry, I don’t know for sure what to compare them to.
No, they are more like a scone, Colleen. Some people slice them in half and spread butter and jam on them. I also know people that eat them with custard. I prefer mine plain (as they come).
I’ve never heard of these before, but they look delicious. This is just more proof that I need to visit the UK! Kellye
There are also recipes for them online, Kyllye. But only if you enjoy baking. I rather buy them as I’m not very good in the kitchen.
These look delish, Hugh! Thanks for a look at this tasty treat! Do you have them with plum jam?
No, I prefer my welsh cakes plain (as they come), Terri. In my world, plum jam is for hot-buttered toast.
That sounds good too! Breakfast time here!
Kind of got the munchies now after seeing these. I bet some blueberries and/or strawberries would be great in those also. Minus the chocolate chips of course.
I’m still stuck on my flowers and gardening WW’s lol – https://macsopinion.com/flowers-fun-wordless-wednesday-number-8/
They contain raisins. Never seen them with strawberries or blueberries in them. I’m not sure they’d cope on the bake stone these are cooked on. Although a side serving of blueberries or strawberries would be great.
*sigh* OK then. A side serving it will be then. When can I expect the delivery?
Christmas Eve 2035. They’re popular.
LOL!
Oatcakes with blueberries or chocolate chips? I’ve never seen one before!
No, they’re not like oatcakes, very different. They are more of a snack, but I have seen people eat them with hot custard.
How interesting. I’ll look them up!
Got the recipe – they are easy to make!
Yes. And once you make the first batch, you’ll be wanting to make the next as soon as the first batch have gone. I recommend eating them as they come. Although some people spread butter on top and add a dollop of jam.
Yummy. I love Welsh Cakes, especially if I’m on the Gower!
I love them anywhere, although there seems to be many versions of them now. Not keen on the chocolate chip ones.
To me they always taste better at Rhossili! Don’t like the sound of the chocolate chip ones.
I’ve also seen may different recipes for them, usually handed down the generations.
Brenda asked my question. Thanks!
Yum! Those will fill me right up. Time for breakfast now. But first, we need to take Maya out.
I tend to one of these mid-morning with a mug of tea. Not to be dunked in the tea, though.
Are they cake or biscuit textured? Sorry for my ignorance
The same texture as scones, so cakes, Brenda. They’re delicious.
Ooh that sounds good … but maybe I should not make them … my scones turn out like biscuits 😁
Providing you bake them on a bake stone, they’ll be perfect.
Don’t have one of those 😬
M&S sell the cakes. I’ve seen them in Tescos too. Other good retailers are available…
Planning trip to M&S. I’ll have a look but sometimes they go local … so Scottish cakes only in Scotland etc. But I’ll check out the main one in Glasgow … I’ll report back 😁
