Welsh cakes
These traditional little cakes are a speciality of South Wales although are still popular throughout the country. Mainly cooked on a bakestone or griddle, they can also be baked in a heavy pan.
What you need
- 225 g self-raising flour
- 1 pinch salt, optional
- 100 g butter
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g currants
- 1 medium egg
- 50 ml approx milk
- To decorate
- 2 tsp caster sugar
Method
Preheat and lightly grease a griddle or heavy-based frying pan. To test if the correct heat has been reached, shake on a little flour - if it turns golden in 1 min, and no less a time, it is ready.
Sift the flour and salt together. Rub in the butter or margarine. Stir in the sugar and the currants. Blend with the beaten egg and just enough milk to make a fairly firm rolling consistency.
Roll out the dough until just under 1 1/2 cm thickness. Cut into small rounds, using a 7.5cm round cutter.
Place the cakes on the griddle or pan and cook for 4-5 min, or until golden brown on the bottom. Turn over and cook for the same time on the other side. Lift the cakes on to a wire cooling tray. Dust with sugar.
