Welsh Cakes image

My grandfather was Welsh and liked to make Welsh cakes on the griddle. Our whole family loves them. Sometimes he would make them for Christmas and wrap them in little bundles for each family. It's a very special memory for us. -Wendy Masters, East Garafraxa, Ontario

These Welsh cakes are the perfect comfort food. They're warm, fluffy, and full of flavor. I love eating them on a cold winter day with a cup of hot chocolate.

Not my favorite. I found the flavor to be a bit bland. Maybe I'll try adding some spices next time.

These Welsh cakes are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some apples and currants that were about to go bad, so I threw them into the batter. They turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of currants, so I substituted raisins instead. They turned out great! The cakes were moist and flavorful, and the raisins added a nice sweetness.

These Welsh cakes are a real treat! I love the crispy edges and the soft, fluffy interior. The flavor is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

Not bad! The addition of currants gives these cakes a nice tang. However, I found the texture to be a bit dry. Next time, I'll try adding a little more butter to the dough.
