Welsh Cakes
Original recipe yield:
4 dozen
INGREDIENTS
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, softened
6 tablespoons lard
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups raisins
4 eggs
8 tablespoons milk
DIRECTIONS
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.
Pice Ar Y Maen (Welsh Cakes)
A Recipe from Wales
1 lb plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
10oz. butter
6oz. sugar
6oz. mixed currants and sultanas(seedless)
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
1 egg
a little milk
Mix together flour and baking powder, then rub in butter. Add sugar, spice and fruit. Mix in the beaten egg and just enough milk to make the same consistency as short-crust pastry. Turn out onto a floured board, roll out and cut into rounds about 3 in. across and 1/2 in. thick. Cook over a medium heat in a very lightly greased pan or on a griddle for about 3-4 mins on each side. If they brown too quickly, lower the heat, for the inside must have time to cook thoroughly, so that it has a brittle, sandy texture. Serve either hot or cold sprinkled with sugar, cinnamon, jam or honey.
Recipe origin WALES.
