Traditional Welsh Cakes
These Traditional Welsh Cakes are the cutest, mini dough-like cakes that I love making for breakfast sometimes or a tea time snack. Softer than a crumpet, the dough is so easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. Then using a cookie cutter, cut 3-inch round shapes that get cooked in butter on a hot griddle pan or bake stone.
Enjoy them just as with some caster sugar sprinkled over or use two cakes to make a jam sandwich! They’re yum!
To make Traditional Welsh Cakes, you will need the following ingredients:
Steps to make Traditional Welsh Cakes
1 | Prepare breadcrumbs | 2 |
Using your fingers, gently rub 110g of butter into 225g of sifted flour to make breadcrumbs. | ||
2 | Add dough ingredients | 3 |
Add 85g of caster sugar and a handful of sultanas along with the egg and mix to combine and form into a ball-shape. Use a bit of milk, if needed. | ||
3 | Prepare cake shapes | 10 |
Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, about ¼-inch thick and use a cookie cutter to cut about 3-inch round-shapes. | ||
4 | Cook | 5 |
Generously grease a bake stone or heavy iron griddle with some butter and wipe any excess away. Working in batches, allow the griddle to heat up before placing Welsh cakes on. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side and caramel brown in color. | ||
5 | Serve | 1 |
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Enjoy them as a jam sandwich too! | ||

Too sweet for me but my daughter and husband liked it a lot since they both have sweet tooths haha.
It was tasty, had it with some tea for breakfast and raisins on the inside instead of sultanas.
Amazingly good and simple to make It thx for the recipe.
It was good but I prefer the welsh bread instead of cake, much less sugary and far better with tea.
British food and snacks are always unique so I'll be trying all of them after this traditional welsh cake!
Gobbled them right up instantly, best mini snack to bring with you anywhere and ultra filling.

Made this for desert yesterday instead of baileys cake and have to say this tasted way better than any welsh dish I've prepared on my own.
This was so freaking tasty even better than the cherry cheesecake!!
Heavenly snack for the whole family or just yourself, great idea.

Kids had powdered sugar all over their mouths it was so cute lol!
Tasty though the sultanas were a little funny in this welsh cake so next time I won't be adding them.
