my Grandmother used to make Welsh Cakes and I loved them
I am going to have to make them again on day - after I have recovered from all the Christmas baking

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_cake
Welsh cakes (Welsh: picau ar y maen, pice bach, cacen gri or teisen radell) are traditional Welsh snacks, somewhat similar to scones.

The cakes are also known as bakestones within Wales because they are traditionally cooked on a bakestone (Welsh: maen), a cast iron griddle about 1.5 cm or more thick which is placed on the fire or cooker.

Welsh cakes are made from flour, butter or lard, eggs, sugar, and currants and/or raisins. They are roughly circular, a couple of inches (4–6 cm) in diameter and about half an inch (1–1.5 cm) thick.

Welsh cakes are served hot or cold dusted with caster sugar. Unlike scones, they are not usually eaten with an accompaniment, though they are sometimes sold ready split and spread with jam, and they are sometimes buttered. They are often eaten with tea.

In some regions of Wales, the bakestone is a food separate from the Welsh cake, being larger and less swee
