Recipe's preparation

    Welsh Cakes
  1. 1. Place the Self Raising flour, Mixed Spice and butter in to the TM bowl and mix 10 secs/speed 5 to rub the butter into the flour/spice mix. - this should look like fine bread crumbs

     

    2. Add the Caster Sugar, Currants, Lightly beaten egg and golden syrup to the bowl. mix 20 secs/Closed lid"Closed lid" /Dough mode"Dough mode"

     

    3. Scrape down the sides and mix 10-20 secs/Closed lid"Closed lid" /Dough mode"Dough mode" . This will make a firm dough.

     

    4. Tip out onto a thermo mat and roll out to approx. 1 cm thick and cut into rounds  with a 4 cm cutter.

     

    5. cook on a gridle plate (or a frypan) over a medium hot heat, turning once, until both sides are golden brown and a little soft in the middle.

     

    6. Dust the cakes liberally with Caster Sugar whilst still hot.

Tip

These are best eaten hot, however they will keep for up to 10 days in an airtight container. I used unsalted butter and didn't dust them with caster sugar, - they were sweet enough without the addition of extra sugar This recipe was converted from a book I picked up in Wales called "Flavours of Wales, Puddings and Baking" by Gilli Davies
