Welsh Cakes Recipe

I was wondering if any of you would have a recipe for Welsh Cakes, my friend use to make them, she cooked them in a frying pan.
I have tried a couple of recipes off the internet they did not taste the same.

Welsh cakes are just flat scones cooked quickly on a cast iron frying pan ,in wales they use a bake -stone which is used on top of the stove.try that way and see if any better.

I have tried a few recipes, they just do not seem to taste the same.
They taste more like short pastry, maybe I could cut the butter down or try a scone recipe.

Although i live in wales i am not Welsh,most recipes are a family secret .This seems a basic recipe then adjust to taste.my sister in law adds cinnamon to some ??

My friend was Welsh maybe that is why she did not ever give me the recipe.

When I was young, when I made welsh cakes I always intended to fill the biscuit tin... never did it, my large family were standing in a row having them fresh off the pan, all six of them made sure I never had any to put in tin, The same with pancakes.

They were a great hit, with with everyone, she was always making them for our get togethers, kids lunchs, she always had a tin with welsh cakes.
When I have made them, they do not taste the same maybe my taste buds are not the same after all these years.
