Default St David's day Welshcakes

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).



Taste mixture!



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.



Leave to cool on rack



MB takes macro shot!



Nom!

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.
