Welsh Cakes

Ingredients

225g/8oz self-raising flour, sieved

110g/4oz (preferably Welsh) salted butter

1 egg

handful of sultanas

milk, if needed

85g/3oz caster sugar

extra butter, for greasing
Preparation method


Rub the fat into the sieved flour to make breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, dried fruit and then the egg. Mix to combine, then form a ball of dough, using a splash of milk if needed.


Roll out the pastry until it is a 5mm/¼in thick and cut into rounds with a 7.5-10cm/3-4in fluted cutter.


You now need a bakestone or a heavy iron griddle. Rub it with butter and wipe the excess away. Put it on to a direct heat and wait until it heats up, place the Welsh cakes on the griddle, turning once. They need about 2-3 minutes each side. Each side needs to be caramel brown before turning.


Remove from the pan and dust with caster sugar while still warm. Some people leave out the dried fruit, and split them when cool and sandwich them together with jam.

To what Kari said Steph, it's a brilliant site and you'll have fun as well as learning a lot about cakes etc. even if you don't bake much you can still join, I'm there and you'll find A Guy (Bill) there as well.

Grrr! My freezer packed up, everything thawed and the melting ice tripped a circuit breaker.:mad2:

Fortunately not much in there as I prefer fresh to frozen.

Oh dear Keith will you need a new freezer ?

 

[kado897]

I don't think so. Not immediately anyway. I hardly ever used it.

 

[Stephanie]

I had to buy a new one (fridge/freezer) last November, Hotpoint NRFAA50P Fridge Freezer Ice Diamond Freestanding Polar White, but if you dont need it much save your £ Keith

 

[kado897]

Yes. I haven't really used a freezer since my main one packed up about 10 years ago. This was just a little one I used for frozen veg. It was about 30 years old so it had a good run.

They do last quite well, my old one was about 9 years old and the first I had bought (the fridge door seal went but as it was getting on I went for new) , have a look in your local papers you may find a small chest freezer at a nice price.
