I made these for a New Year's day treat with that first cup of coffee - so easy to throw together and really really tasty. My Gram and mom loved them!!

While testing the recipe I put uncooked and cooked scones in the freezer to see how they would keep. While never as good as freshly made, both frozen versions are pretty tasty and can be an option if like me you don't to eat the whole batch when making the recipe.

That sounds like a terrific idea. I am going to try that with the next batch of Welsh Cakes. Thanks Ksb :)

My husband's grandmother and her family immigrated to the United States from Wales when she was a little girl. She made these for him when he was little. I just made a batch on my Cuisinart indoor griddle. They are lovely and light and very tasty with a spoonful of cranberry sauce!

We call these bake stones! No spices though and we use butter not lard. These are very easy to cook in an electric grilled too.

Yes Hannah, as Jacqueline mentioned, you can use all butter. The small amount of lard just gives the cakes a little flakier texture. I hope you enjoy them :)

Thanks Jacqueline! My mother used to make these in an electric frying pan; it's a good way to maintain a constant temperature.

Wow, what a nostalgia moment! My Grandma used to make these for me and I had forgotten how much I like them. Thanks for the recipe.
