Good Welsh Cakes don't need cream of strawberries, eat them as they are with no filling. They are soooo good. CYMRU AM BYTH!!
cream does not go in welsh cakes
Im a cardiff boy! grew up making welsh cakes with my nan who was from the valley's (so we use a very old recipe) and I must say Mr. Oliver, not bad for a essex boy! love the touch of cream and strawberries! (like flat scones down in cornwall and devon) and to all the welsh people hating on this video are so blind. surely being welsh you should appreciate that the biggest chef in the world is putting our traditional foods on the big screen for the world to see!
Big up Jamie Oliver!
Joemartha. You are so right. First thing I learnt in Cookery school and sorry Jamie but they are not traditional Welsh cakes. Your trying to make them into scones. I am from Caerphilly in South Wales and don’t mess with the recipe, no need they are delicious as they are!
The Welsh put lard into their Welsh cakes, if you want authentic then you have youtube and you can find authentic Welsh cakes. A friend used to make these, and boy were they delicious. I am tempted to give them a try myself as I miss their taste. I was in my forties the first time I ever tried Welsh cakes and I have had some wonderful deserts in my time, but these should be on anyone's bucket lists to eat.
Idk my aunt swore by stork block 🤷🏼♀️
Mixed spice, also called pudding spice, is a British[1] blend of sweet spices, similar to the pumpkin pie spice used in the United States. Cinnamon is the dominant flavour, with nutmeg and allspice. It is often used in baking, or to complement fruits or other sweet foods
i don’t use self raising flour. normal flour and half a tsp of baking powder gives it enough lift without it being a sponge you have to cut in half. Nice try but these are more soft scones
Jamie I love all your recipes, you're a genius!!!
Ok but just to let you know, this is not a Welsh cake.
Love these - have not made them for awhile. Use to make them when the kids were young.
that ain't how my nan taught me, and she makes the best
Jamie I from wales and that not how to make welsh cakes
I just got back from my first trip to the UK and the best thing I brought back was a recipe for Welch Cakes. I love them. Is it a biscuit, a scone or a cookie? Don't care, they are the best. I agree with other comments... they don't need toppings.
Thank you Jamie mate xx
I have just made half the quantity and it made 9 cakes, perfect for my husband and I....they are delicious! Thank you young Jamie, the video may be 10 years old but it is perfect for today! I used dried cranberries
I am not sure if we have that vanilla paste here, in Portugal.
brilliant recipe, Jamie. Thank you.
nice man I lovepizza and guitar
I must eat this!
Awesome ty :)
awesome
These look DELICIOUS!!! Yum! And I can celebrate my Welsh heritage at the same time (and pretend I'm in beautiful UK while stuck in the Arizona desert) ;)
I made them in Cuba at my residence, when I was on holiday there and wanting to show off my Welsh heritage, but they had no soft dried fruit. They said ‘will pineapple be okay?’. I said I’d give it a try with the fresh pineapple but couldn’t promise they’d turn out the same. OH. MY. WORD. Hot off the pan with the little chunks of hot pineapple.. they were deeeelicious!! 😋💖☺️
If you want to celebrate your Welsh heritage, definitely don't put strawberries and cream in. It's an affront! Just eat them as they are. Good luck, happy eating ❤️
Thank's for telling me this. I didn't watch the video. I was planning to construct the plot of the video by reading every comment and fitting them together into a transcript. Then I'd send it to an independent research organisation, to compare my accuracy to the actual video.
yummmmmmmmmmm
NO Way Jamie, Wealsh Cakes ( Bake Scones ) are never cut and filled with anything, currants in them only, bake Scones if you want Jam and Cream in something !!!!
What an absolute shambles
it looks sooo easy !
Just wrong filling them with cream Jamie! NO no no no! (from a Welshman!)
I remember enjoying some lovely Welsh cakes at a tea shop in Betws-y-Coed, and THEY were served with clotted cream AND strawberry jam. Wasn't the Welshwoman who made them Welsh enough for you?
@@sawadee-er7vu Nothing wrong with splitting them open and adding jam and cream, if liked. I’m a purist, though, prefer them hot off the griddle, yum!
Oh what do i know >.< i live en denmark haha ^^
Tinkers about with recipes and then calls them his own.Well you got this one mixed up with scones.
Are you taking the micky?! WELSH cakes, after all we have been through!
that is amayzing!
is the butter cold or softened at room temperature?
Cold as you can get for rubbing in!
Im so making these lol
Cream is a good idea might try that ( but tell my mam )
What mixed spices is it ?
A jar of mixed spice. Buy it in the shop.
what is the Victorian spice is it all spice?
in*
amazing !
What kind of mixed spices is he talking about? It seems vague. I'm in Australia, I'd love to know what it'd be called specifically here. Or what might be in the mix.
Ebby Osgood "mixed spice" is a spice blend they use in the UK. Among other things, it has mace in it.
I made some - since I can't find any here in the US - by googling for how to make my own blend of it. I just can't recall exactly what is in it.
Bang
i think it is
cooking with rings on.... ok im new to cooking but.. isnt that like bad practice or something ??? lol
mixed spices? What kind of spices? :o
Ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, tad cumin but if in doubt just buy mixed spice in jar 😊
Welsh cakes are not scones I repeat welsh cakes are not scones
Ikr
then dont use raisins! use blueberrys! im sure its amazing, or maybe even some chocolate chips? everthings possible!
Fresh pineapple.. nom nom!
It look like cream scones! Is this the same thing as a cream scones? Sorry I never had one of this before..
Yes. Imho would be better with scones because they’re softer in the middle. With Welshcakes you have 4 ‘hard sides’ instead of 2. Would be a bit too chokey for me. I’m a Welshcakes purist. Why ruin a good thing? lol! Btw, the pan should be dry, no butter to cook, otherwise you’re ‘frying’ them, which means you end up with a harder, more solid texture. They should be firm on the outside and mouth-wateringly soft in the middle. Best eaten hot off the griddle! 🤓
no they are not the same as scones cutting a welsh cake in half and putting cream in it is somehow genuinely offensive. they're eaten like cookies jamie oliver is an uncultured swine
@@Jchathe that's interesting, I always prefer them when they've sat in a tin for a day, I find the flavour developed and changes. Delicious however they're eaten, definitely without cream and strawberries! What the heck was that?!
Ychafi
OMG! My grandmother was welsh, and she made these quite often. This is the first time I have heard someone elts speak of them.
Okay, so was super excited to make these - ONE MASSIVE MISTAKE - Jamie does not mention that this needs to be UNSALTED butter! I used regular "butter" cause he never said differently plus added the extra salt he suggests and this was so disgustingly salty - not trying to be rude or mean, but I honestly nearly barfed when I tried one!
Please be careful on instructions with videos - otherwise they may be okay with unsalted butter...
Sorry Jamie but you have no idea about Welsh cakes !! The only fruit that belongs in them are currants and you missed out adding allspice.Welshcakes are never filled like a scone !!
Anthony lambert
No no no what are you doing 😱😱
Traditional welsh cakes don’t have all spice added.
So what? mixed spice is excellent & his recipe is foolproof , absolutely delicious ....
He's got no Idea
You need a bake stone. Currants only and placed in sugar when still warm. He cut them on the mean side 2. . Cream and strawberry's that's for scones. Sacrilege!.
Best ever with a cuppa tea.
has the word inch disappeared from british english ?
Yes. We’ve been metric since 1965, but some old people still use inches
@@rachaelwilson7178 Thank god, the US still use the imperial system and as the american culture has a big influence on the UK, traditions are saved ....
Oh great a cookie like dessert that I can do in my student kitchen without an oven!
Respect to you mate ;)
No cream in Welsh cakes! Nor cranberries. You can put what you like in them but they won't be Welsh cakes!!
Is it possible if you could make me some and send it to me? 😩❤
Just No! These are NOT traditional welsh cakes so much better on there own if done right they are amazing the way they are.
CFCs.
Who else watches 24 Kitchen? :D
brilliant :)
Those cakes sure look good
olalala..... :x:x
I'm currently making Welsh cakes now and this isn't how you do it. It's plain flour with baking powder and lard and butter not just butter and you use a bakestone to cook them. You don't add cream to the middle either.
Just made these from this recipe might have to compare to another just to see if there is a better one because there most definitely is. These were a little dry I also added a few more raisins as Jamie was a little bit tight with them.
& I don't think back in the day the traditional Welsh house wife's had enough time to whip up cream & pick strawberries that's not Welsh at all🤔
Your right, he's abused the Welsh cake with this, not Welsh at all.
seems like the inside of the cake wasn't thoroughly cooked
That’s because he didn’t rub in enough to make fine ‘breadcrumbs’ which would have distributed the moisture and allowed them to cook more evenly. They were also too thick. Should be around a quarter inch or under half a centimetre. You also use a dry heat because using butter ‘fries’ the outside before the inside can cook. They should be firm on the outside and moist in the middle with the flour just cooked off to a T. Imho, naturally, lol!
I'm surprised he's not throwing Olive oil all over them.
They probably cut that bit out. Glad I'm not the only one to notice he chucks it on everything.
Can you use chocolate chips instead of fruit? Healthful food was never really part of my diet.
The rubbing in method and cooking style are fairly ‘dry’, which means you need moisture inside the cakes. The fruit adds moisture, so I think the choccie chips would be too dry, despite it sounding good. You could experiment on one or two but I wouldn’t potentially spoil a whole batch. Try a hard fruit like apple, pear or little chunks of fresh pineapple. I’ve tried the pineapple myself and Oh. My. Word. Delish!! 😋 The Apple ones are called tinker’s cakes and you can google the recipe. Good luck! 👍
E
👍👍👍❤️😜😜
Thats a scone! Not a Welsh cake 😂
leave them out
Second
When he slices through them they look all doughy and uncooked.
He's made them too thick. Welsh cakes aren't meant to be cut in half.
Absolutely. They’re meant to be thin enough to cook through in a few minutes, NOT thick enough to cut open. You need to make fine breadcrumbs with your fingers, NOT doughy lumps. That way they stay moist in the middle. You also use a dry heat, not a buttered pan, wait for them to puff up, then flip to brown on the other side. Deeelicious hot!!!
Revolting. These are not proper Welsh cakes. If you want cream and sweetened fruit with them then just make a good old scone like the Cornish do.
Don't try to re-invent the wheel with a new wheel that's shite.
Spot on, kid!
Never heard of these being called Welsh cakes before. 'Drop scones' is how I know them, only difference from regular scones being the egg and that they are dropped in a pan instead of baked in the oven.
Definitely a good one, though.
"Drop scones" yn Cymru. Welsh cakes in England.
Not drop scones. Welsh cakes or bakestones because they were traditionally cooked on an iron ‘stone’ or flat steel griddle. Drop scones are made using a different method where you make a batter then ‘drop’ the loose mixture on to the griddle. Welsh cakes are rolled out and cut into rounds.
These are scones not welsh cakes it's like calling a flattened Yorkshire pud a fricken pancake
ahhhh first !
You should take your ring of, for hygiene.. :/
Everyone moaning about the cream filling- no-one's forcing you to do that! Eat that traditionally if you want!!
Lol for real 🤣
Sure but then don't pretend it's a Welsh cake because it's not.
Haven't watch the vid yet, but they look burnt!
Sorry Jamie but you are totally clueless on how to make Welsh Cakes - Look at Margaret Johns Video on TH-cam and see how it really is done. Jamie may be a famous cook but he is no baker
Just watched that the other day! 👍💖
Ksi?
Just no !
no, but the rings may be filthy or worse
R these mcgriddles?
NOT Welshcakes, sorry!
if you did that you couldn't call them Welsh Cakes
its self rising flour not self raising flour, incorrect use of words, jamie. recipe looks good though especially with currants or raisins and even better, chocolate chips.
You're wrong. Go into any grocer's shop / supermarket in the UK and it says 'self raising' flour on the packet. Perhaps you are from the USA?
Self raising in the U.K.
Jamie was always clueless about cooking
I’m very late to the party but MORTIFIED that he butchered these so badly.
My grandad used to have cheese with his Welsh cake and have met a few older folk since who do this too. I’d not bat an eyelid to that but cutting your Welsh cakes like scones? Hideous.
