WELSH Cakes TRADITIONAL sweet treat from WALES, Pice ar y maen, teisen radell, picau ar y maen

Welsh Cakes, known in Wales as "Pice ar y maen," "picau ar y maen," or "teisen radell," have a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. They are a traditional Welsh snack that has been a staple in Welsh kitchens for generations.

Welsh Cakes originated in rural Wales. They were initially made by Welsh housewives and were a convenient way of using up leftover bits of dough and dried fruit.

Traditionally, they were cooked on a bakestone or griddle over an open fire, a method suited to the rural households of Wales. This cooking technique gave the cakes their distinctive crispy outside and soft, tender inside.

Over time, they became a popular treat across Wales, especially during celebrations and gatherings. The recipe evolved, with some families passing down their unique variations, often including spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

The Industrial Revolution brought about a change in the way Welsh Cakes were consumed. As people moved to work in the industrial towns, Welsh Cakes became a popular snack to take to the coal mines or steel works.

Today, Welsh Cakes are still a beloved snack in Wales and have gained popularity in other parts of the world. They are often seen in Welsh markets and fairs and are a common sight during St. David’s Day celebrations (March 1st), the national day of Wales.

They hold a special place in Welsh culture, symbolizing home comfort and tradition. They are not just a treat but a connection to Welsh heritage and a simpler time.
