Welsh cake

Fruited British flatcake

A Welsh cake is a small, round griddle cake from Wales, made with flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and currants or raisins.

Unlike most cakes, Welsh cakes are cooked on a flat griddle rather than baked in an oven, giving them a slightly crisp exterior and dense, scone-like interior.

They're traditionally served warm, dusted with sugar.
