Yesterday was St David\u2019s Day<\/strong> so it seemed appropriate to try to make some traditional Welsh Cakes<\/strong> this week. I\u2019d never tried a Welsh Cake before so wasn\u2019t sure what to expect. I thought they were a very pleasant cross between a thin scone, American pancake and biscuit. The whole family thought they were delicious hot with butter and cold sprinkled with some sugar. I think these would work well as lunch-box or picnic treats too.\"Welsh<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0How To Make Welsh Cakes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Ingredients
\n(Makes 15 Welsh Cakes)<\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 225g plain flour<\/li>\n
  • \u00a080g\u00a0caster sugar<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp baking powder<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp mixed spice<\/li>\n
  • 100g butter (Or half and half butter and lard mix.)<\/li>\n
  • 60g sultanas.<\/li>\n
  • 1 egg<\/li>\n
  • tablespoon of milk<\/li>\n
  • extra butter or lard for cooking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How To Make Welsh Cakes<\/span><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and mixed spice in a bowl and rub in the fat until it resembles bread crumbs.<\/li>\n
    2. Stir in the sultanas.<\/li>\n
    3. Beat the egg and stir it into the dry mix until it forms a rollable dough, like pastry. If it is too dry add a tablespoon of milk.<\/li>\n
    4. Roll out on a lightly floured board until it\u2019s about twice the thickness of pastry. Cut into rounds.<\/li>\n
    5. Melt a knob of butter or lard in a frying pan and fry the Welsh Cakes on a medium heat for a few minutes on either side until golden brown and cooked through.<\/li>\n
    6. Serve hot or cold with butter or sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I believe traditional Welsh Cake recipes\u00a0use currants rather than sultanas but I opted for sultanas because that\u2019s what I had in my cupboard and because my little ones prefer their softer texture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
