Is there a Welsh recipe called cacan menyn? In the Wikipedia article about the Breton delicacy Kouign-amann, there is the following statement:


  The Welsh equivalent is the etymologically identical cacan menyn, literally 'cake (of) butter'.


It isn't clear from the article whether there actually is an equivalent Welsh recipe, or if the text is pointing out a similarity between the Welsh and Breton languages.

Is there a Welsh recipe called cacan menyn?
I've had a whole lot of Welsh desserts based largely on butter :-), but never anything approaching a kouign amann.  Never anything approaching it anywhere else than in Brittany in fact, or made by Bretons.  Your problem may be a lot greater than a linguistic translation.  There's a reason there's not an equivalent in French for instance.
