Welsh Cakes Recipes

Griddle tea cakes made by Great Grandma Cecilia Rees Elias Welsh while she was still in Wales (married there in 1910) and for all major holidays in the US. Not a sweet cookie but rather more of a tea biscuit. Family tradition dictates that the cooks have tea and cakes when the cooking is complete.

Just like my aunt in Dyfed used to make, our old family recipe, these pastry-like griddle cakes make a great tea cookie.
