Yield: 16

Author: Poodles

Little, light, fluffy, scone-like Welsh Cakes are sweet bites of yummy!

Ingredients

• 1 cup Flour, all-purpose
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Cold Butter, unsalted
• 1/4 cup Sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top
• 1/3 cup Currants, dried
• 1 large Egg
• 2 Tbsp Milk

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
2. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until mixture resembles course crumbs.
3. Stir in the sugar and currants.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg and milk.
5. Mix until the dough comes together.
6. Lightly flour a flat work surface and roll out the dough about 1/2 inch thick. With a cookie cutter, cut cakes.
7. In a skillet over medium heat, melt a small amount of butter and place as many cakes in the skillet that will fit while not allowing them to touch. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Gently flip over and cook an additional 3 minutes. Remove to a wire cooling rack and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
8. Serve warm, at room temperature, with butter or jam.
