About
| This twist on classic Welsh cakes uses naked barley flour, a nutritious, versatile and flavoursome alternative to wheat flour. Barley flour is subtly earthy with a delicate sweet aftertaste. |
Welsh cakes are a classic bake, also known as picau ar y maen ("cakes on the stone"), pice bach ("small cakes"), cacennau cri or teisennau gradell ("griddle cakes") in Welsh, or bakestones or griddle cakes in English.
Traditionally cooked on a cast iron bakestone (maen) suspended over the fire or cooker, Welsh cakes are a classic example of domestic baking before ovens were universal in homes.
Our wholemeal naked barley flour is stone-milled in small batches through our mill in Suffolk, from barley grown by Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire.
Naked barleys are varieties of barley, Hordeum vulgare, that naturally shed the grain's inedible husk when harvested so that the whole grain can be milled or eaten without losing any of the flavour or nutrition.

Method

A deeply comforting, thick, and rustic Italian-inspired soup-stew featuring British-grown dried carlin peas. Slow-cooked with a classic soffritto base, small pasta shapes, and aromatic rosemary, it's a beautifully creamy dish that is perfect for a cosy weeknight dinner.
A deeply comforting Persian-inspired aubergine stew made with naked fava beans instead of yellow split peas, and preserved lemon in place of black lime. Rich tomato, silky aubergine, warm spices, and sharp salty citrus combine to create a rustic, homestyle dish.
Vibrant and comforting Palestinian Rummaniyeh combines olive green lentils and charred aubergine with the deep tang of pomegranate molasses and the silkiness of tahini. A perfect vegan main served with flatbread.
