Teisen Cymraeg (Welsh Cakes) Recipe

Welsh Cakes

3 cups flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup butter

1 cup currants

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

3 to 4 tablespoons milk

1/2 cup granulated sugar

butter, honey, or marmalade topping

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter

with a pastry blender or 2 knives. Mix together currants, 1/2 cup sugar, 

and egg and stir into dry ingredients. Sprinkle in milk 1 tablespoon at 

a time. Mix until all ingredients are moist or dough almost cleans side of bowl.
Gather dough into a ball. Roll out 1/2-inch thick on lightly floured

board and cut into 2 1/2-inch rounds.
Cook on lightly greased griddle or skillet on the stove top
about 3 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown.

Roll in sugar. Makes about 2 dozen Welsh Cakes.

Delicious with orange marmalade and tea.
They are a bit like a sweet biscuit.

Tea time today will be with a bracing black tea and a Welsh Cake.
A different sort of tea time for me, but perfect for a winter day.
