WELSH CAKES
My grandfather was Welsh and liked to make Welsh cakes on the griddle. Our whole family loves them. Sometimes he would make them for Christmas and wrap them in little bundles for each family. It's a very special memory for us. -Wendy Masters, East Garafraxa, Ontario

WELSH CAKES
Steps:
- In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar and mixed spice. Stir to combine.
- Add the butter and rub into the dry ingredients with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the currants and mix.
- Add the [beaten] egg and the milk, and mix to form a fairly stiff dough - you may need to use your hands to do this. If your dough feels too dry, add a little extra milk.
- Tip the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead for a moment to bring together.
- Heat a frying pan or flat griddle pan over a low-medium heat. Leave to come to temperature whilst you prepare your Welsh Cakes.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to about 5mm thick and cut into circles with a round 7cm cookie cutter. Set each circle to one side once cut and continue to re-roll the dough until you have around 12-15 round cakes.
- Lightly grease your frying/griddle pan before placing your cakes on, keeping a bit of space between them (be careful not to overcrowd your pan - you will need to do this in batches). Cook the cakes for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown in colour.
- Place the cooked Welsh cakes onto a wire rack to cool and dust with a little caster sugar to finish.

Steps:
- Tip the flour, sugar, mixed spice, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Then, with your fingers, rub in the butter and lard until crumbly. Mix in the currants. Work the egg into the mixture until you have soft dough, adding a splash of milk if it seems a little dry - it should be the same consistency as shortcrust pastry.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to the thickness of your little finger. Cut out rounds using a 6cm cutter, re-rolling any trimmings. Grease a flat griddle pan or heavy frying pan with lard, and place over a medium heat. Cook the Welsh cakes in batches, for about 3 mins each side, until golden brown, crisp and cooked through. Delicious served warm with butter and jam, or simply sprinkled with caster sugar. Cakes will stay fresh in a tin for 1 week.

GRANNY'S WELSH CAKES
This recipe was given to my grandmother many, many years ago by an old Welsh lady. They are a family favorite in all generations. They are different from the other recipes listed here as they do NOT have milk--eggs are the only liquid.
