How to Make Welsh Cakes

THETRAVELBITE.COM

This easy Welsh Cake recipe is a gift from my friend Sian in Wales. Welsh Cakes are a delicious treat that's a cross between a pancake, biscuit, and scone.

Kind of like a pancake, but smaller like a cookie, Welsh Cakes are a sweet teatime treat. They’re made with flour, butter, eggs, and milk (similar to pancakes).

They can be sweetened or flavored with a variety of additional ingredients like cinnamon, dried cranberries, Nutella, chocolate chips, and white chocolate.

Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.

Add the sugar, spices and currants and mix well. You want the texture to be a bit crumbly.

Add the beaten egg and bring all the ingredients together, starting with a spoon, and then use your hands to knead everything together to form a dough.

Use a biscuit cutter or cup to cut into round shapes. Keep rolling and cutting until the dough is used up.

Heat a frying pan or griddle to medium heat and cook one to two cakes to test out the temperature. They should easily brown in 2-3 minutes, but not burn.

Allow the cakes to cool, then dip each in a plate of caster sugar to coat. Serve warm on their own, or with butter and jam.
