Traditional Welsh Cakes Recipes
WELSH CAKES
We attended a county fair in Wales and the ladies of the local church were baking and selling these. We asked for the recipe and they graciously shared it with us. This has been converted to US standard. They are delicious and not as sweet as some of our style cookies. Dried currants can be used in place of the raisins.

Steps:
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt into bowl. Put in butter and lard and mix until resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in sugar and currants or raisins. Beat the eggs lightly and add to flour mixture with just enough milk to make a firm dough similar to shortcrust pastry.
- Chill dough 1 to 2 hours.
- Roll the dough to 1/4 inch on floured surface and cut with 3 inch rounds. Bake the cakes on a greased griddle or frying pan (I use my electric skillet with just a little non-stick spray) over low heat until golden brown. Cool and sprinkle with sugar. These also freeze well.

Steps:
- Tip the flour, sugar, mixed spice, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Then, with your fingers, rub in the butter and lard until crumbly. Mix in the currants. Work the egg into the mixture until you have soft dough, adding a splash of milk if it seems a little dry - it should be the same consistency as shortcrust pastry.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to the thickness of your little finger. Cut out rounds using a 6cm cutter, re-rolling any trimmings. Grease a flat griddle pan or heavy frying pan with lard, and place over a medium heat. Cook the Welsh cakes in batches, for about 3 mins each side, until golden brown, crisp and cooked through. Delicious served warm with butter and jam, or simply sprinkled with caster sugar. Cakes will stay fresh in a tin for 1 week.

TRADITIONAL WELSH CAKES
This is the recipe my Aunt has been using since moving to Wales in the early 1950s. I have no idea where she got it from. These are delicious served warm just as they are. This makes loads, I've never actually counted them so yield is a guestimate.

Steps:
- Mix together the flour and margerine until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the sugar, fruit and egg and mix well until stiff, this is best done by getting your hands in and getting messy.
- Roll out dough and cut into approximately 2 " circles about 1/4 " thick.
- Lightly butter a griddle pan and heat on a low heat then cook the cakes until lightly brown. Take care as it takes a bit of practice to know when they are cooked in the middle without burning the edges.

Steps:
- Rub the butter into the flour with a pinch of salt, then stir in the sugar and currants.Tip in the egg and mix into a dough. Grease a flat cast iron griddle pan or large heavy-based frying pan (not non stick) with a drizzle of oil and put on a very low heat.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1cm thickness. Stamp out thin rounds with a 6.5in fluted cutter, re-rolling the trimmings as you go.
- To check whether the heats right for the griddle or pan you need to cook a trial cake. The pan is hot enough when a sprinkling of water sizzles up in a few seconds. Drop a welsh cake on to the griddle, leave it there for 5-6 minutes till the underside is brown, then flip it over and do the same to the other side to cook the middle. If the cakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat of the pan & allow to cool slightly before you cook any more.
- Cook the Welsh cakes in batches, trying not to overcrowd the griddle, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm sprinkled with caster sugar.

- In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, mace and cinnamon. Mix in the lard and butter using your fingers or a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the currants and stir to combine. Add the beaten egg and work it into the mixture adding a little milk as needed until you have a soft dough. It should not be wet or sticky. Wrap the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (Dough can be made well in advance and chilled until ready to use.)
- Roll the dough out onto a floured or non-stick surface about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter. Gather up the scraps, knead together and roll out again to cut the remaining rounds.
- Heat and lightly butter a cast iron pan over medium heat (I lightly butter it to later help the sugar adhere to the cakes when they're sprinkled). Add the cakes and cook on each side until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes (lower the heat if needed to prevent the outside from burning before the interior is done).
- Let them cool for about a minute. While the Welsh cakes are still warm, place them in a small bowl of sugar to coat all sides. Best eaten while a little warm. Reheat Welsh Cakes in a pan, toaster, or warmed oven (or if in a hurry, in the microwave for a few seconds).
