Grunt and Suie wanted to have some of the Welsh cakes we had today as part of our Pigmania game to celebrate St David's day this week. The ones Mary sent were too good and I shared those with no one but I allowed them to sample one that I had made. It didn't help them win the game but that is OK too. It was great fun as always and we have decided to celebrate something every week now as we play.
Instructions
1. Mix flour and salt, rub in margarine, stir in sugar and currants.
2. Mix to a fairly stiff dough with the egg and milk.
3. Roll out about 5 mm (¼ inch) in thickness and cut into rounds, (use a 6.5 cm or 2 ½ inch cookie cutter)
Gather up the trimmings and re-roll to make more Welsh cakes.
4. Cook on a medium-hot greased griddle pan for about 3 minutes on each side.
Place the hot Welsh cakes on some sugar, both sides then serve buttered, hot or cold.
@olivetreeann my pleasure. You’ll have to let me know if you try them how they turned out. The ones Mary made had mace in them and I liked that little touch of spice.
