Welsh cakes
Whether you’re celebrating St David’s day or welcoming in the spring, why not get baking and give these delicious Welsh cakes a go!
Instructions
- Dice the butter and mix it in to the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the sultanas, sugar and mixed spice to the mixture.
- Add the beaten egg and bring the mixture together to form a dough.
- Allow to rest in the fridge for around 20 minutes, then roll out the dough to around 5mm thick. Put a griddle or frying pan on a low heat on the hob.
- Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
- Spread a small amount of butter in the hot pan and ensure no Welsh cakes stick.
- Cook each Welsh cake for around 4 minutes each side on a low heat, until golden brown.
