Welsh cakes

Good things come to those who wait. No, I call bullshit. Good things come to those who are consistent, work hard and don't apply wishfully to too many jobs with the Queen.

This cake is simpler to make but checks all the right boxes for a great family style dessert!

Welsh cakes are a sweet, quick bread, spiced and studded with currants. The thin rounds of dough were traditionally cooked on a heated bakestone over an open fire, which led to alternative names of bakestones, griddle cakes or pics (from the Welsh term picau ar y maen meaning ‘cakes on the stone’). Delicious served hot or cold, they are often dusted with sugar.
