Welsh cakes (Welsh: picau ar y maen, pice bach, cacen gri or teisen radell) are traditional Welsh snacks.
| 1 | cup butter |
| 3/4 | cup sugar |
| 2 1/2 | cups flour |
| 1 | teaspoon salt |
| 3 | teaspoons baking powder |
| 1 | egg |
| 1/2 | cup milk |
| 1 | cup currants, washed and drained |
- Mix together dry ingredients.
- Cut in cold butter. You can use a food processor and pulse for a few seconds until it resembles a course meal.
- Mix egg and milk together and slowly add to dry ingredients.
- Stir in currents. If they looked a bit dried out, you can plump them first by placing currents in a microwave safe dish, add ½ cup of water and heat in microwave for 1-2 minutes. Drain and cool before mixing.
- Turn onto a floured board and roll 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut into rounds and fry on an electric skillet at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (or medium heat on a gas griddle) for about 5 minutes on each side. I do spray my griddle lightly with non-stick baking spray.
