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.

These baked samosas created by Hema Mavers are filled with a colourful and protein-rich mix of blue peas, sweetcorn, carrots and warming spices, with a touch of creamed coconut for richness. Wrapped in a wholesome pastry made from wholemeal wheat and millet flours, they’re a delicious example of how traditional favourites can be reimagined with nourishing ingredients.
This delicious risotto-like dish is made with kibbled naked barley and spring veg. It makes a delicious meal in its own right or can be served alongside beans, fish or meat.
This recipe from Órfhlaith Noone is inspired by traditional Danish rugbrød - moreishly chewy, dense, and a great way to use sourdough starter. It’s straightforward to make, but it's worth reading through the instructions a couple of times to get familiar with the timings before you begin.
