The texture of these Welsh griddle cakes lies between that of a pancake and that of a biscuit or scone. This version is slightly sweeter than the traditional one and is delicious for both breakfast and teatime, especially on March 1, the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales. Serve them straight from the griddle as they are or sprinkled with confectioners’ or cinnamon sugar.
