Directions: |
Directions:Sift together the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter or shortening until the mixture appears mealy. Stir in sugar and currants. In a separate bowl, gently beat the egg into the milk. Gradually add the egg and milk mixture to the dry mixture. Stir as you add it until a fairly stiff dough is formed. Roll the dough out (on a lightly floured surface) to about 5 mm (¼ inch) in thickness and cut into rounds, (use a 6.5 cm or 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter). Gather up the trimmings and re roll to make more Welsh cakes. Cook on a medium hot greased griddle pan or in a heavy frying pan till light brown. About 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve hot or room temperature. Can be sprinkled with icing (or castor) sugar while still warm. |
