Chef's Notes
Welsh cakes are neither scone nor pancake; they are magical discs cooked on a griddle instead of an oven. Treat your dough with absolute tenderness.
Pro Tip
Do not crowd the skillet! Give your Welsh cakes room to breathe so they brown evenly instead of steaming in a soggy crowd.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Blasting the heat too high will char the outside of your Welsh cakes into charcoal hockey pucks while leaving the inside raw and gooey.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the court baker why the Welsh cakes weren't in the oven, and he told me they were 'too good for the heat'—so he threw them on a flat piece of iron instead.
The Culinary Science
Shortening melts at a higher temperature than butter, which creates pockets of steam that yield a tender, flaky crumb.
