  • About

In Wales, UK, these little cakes were originally cooked on a heated bake stone and served to travellers on their arrival at an inn. Known as ‘pice ar y maen’ in Welsh, which translates as ‘cakes on the stone’, these variations of a drop scone are a wondrous versatile treat that can be served hot or cold, with tea or coffee, jam or ice cream, as a snack or a dessert.
