Good Welsh Cakes don't need cream of strawberries, eat them as they are with no filling. They are soooo good. CYMRU AM BYTH!!

[joeharding]

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!

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 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.

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

[marknorville]

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.

I just cooked them for my family, and the loved it! 😊😊❤ Thank you for the recipe!!

[stephaniefranklin]

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 !!!!

[libbyschou-kristensen]

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

[jacklewis]

[ceryseira]

[anthonylambert]

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 !!

[theshoEshaine]

[isabelmartins]

Travels the world to try and perfect local cooking, but can’t hop it up the M4 to learn how to make a Welsh Cake.

[najeyrifai]

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.

[TheBluebirdkev]

Tinkers about with recipes and then calls them his own.Well you got this one mixed up with scones.

[RosalindRowe]

Love these - have not made them for awhile. Use to make them when the kids were young.

[ragazza]

Can I use this for savoury appetizers as well or only for dessert ?
