St David's day Welshcakes

[Aitch]

Today I decided to make Welshcakes

Ingredients:
225g Self raising flour
110g salted butter
85g caster sugar
1 egg
A handful of sultanas
Milk if needed

Sieve the flour into a bowl, rub in the butter to make a breadcrumb mixture.

Add the caster sugar & sultanas and mix.

Add the egg

And mix to make dough. Add some milk if required (I added a splash as my egg was quite small).

Roll out to 1/2 cm thickness (dust board & rolling pin with flour to stop sticking)

Cut out Welshcakes with a cookie cutter. Heat heavy bottomed frying pan (or flat griddle) to medium.

Cook for 2-3 mins a side, until browned.

I love welshcakes although never made them. The local market have some that I absolutely adore and could quite happily live on ;D

Nice sultry Nigella shot there ;) Makes them seem all the more tasty! Nice simple recipe, might have to give them a go, preferbaly if I am going to have people round or I will eat them all myself ;D

I'll have to have a go at these. The only Welshcakes I've had were the one's Piggy's Mum made for the BBQ meet and they were delicious.

On their own or with a sprinkling of sugar :)

Thanks for the comments - I feel a bit of a cheat accepting praise as they are sooo easy (& MB helped with the frying). I will say they are very, very tasty so be warned you will scoff the lot, most of them when they are still warm from the pan! :)

[Desmo]

Oh yeah, warm welshcakes straight from the pan are very VERY dangerous.
