Gluten-Free Welsh Griddle Cakes Recipe

Avatar for Becky Terrell
Gluten-free Welsh griddle cakes, these little beauties have been a staple of Welsh baking for generations, traditionally cooked on a bakestone or griddle. Our gluten-free version maintains all the charm of the original, just without the wheat flour that might upset those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivities.
