Four easy steps to making the perfect treat for teatime. Serve with lashings of butter and jam.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h4>\n225g\/8oz self-raising flour, sieved
\n110g\/4oz (preferably Welsh) salted butter
\n1 egg
\nhandful of sultanas
\nmilk, if needed
\n85g\/3oz caster sugar
\nextra butter, for greasing<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rub the fat into the sieved flour to make breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, dried fruit and then the egg. Mix to combine, then form a ball of dough, using a splash of milk if needed.<\/p>\n
Roll out the pastry until it is a 5mm\/\u00bcin thick and cut into rounds with a 7.5-10cm\/3-4in fluted cutter.<\/p>\n
You now need a bakestone or a heavy iron griddle. Rub it with butter and wipe the excess away. Put it on to a direct heat and wait until it heats up, place the Welsh cakes on the griddle, turning once. They need about 2-3 minutes each side. Each side needs to be caramel brown before turning although some people I know like them almost burnt.<\/p>\n
Remove from the pan and dust with caster sugar while still warm. Some people leave out the dried fruit, and split them when cool and sandwich them together with jam.<\/p>\n
