Ingredients
- 350g self-raising flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- 100g currants
- 115g caster sugar
- 175g butter, diced and chilled
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- Raspberries and strawberries
- Clotted cream
Method
Heat a flat griddle pan to hot.
Mix together the flour, baking powder, spice, currants and caster sugar.
Rub the butter into the dry mix using your fingertips rub in until the mixture resembles a fine crumb. Mix the milk and egg into the dry mix to form a soft dough.
Lightly flour the work surface and a rolling pin then roll out to 1cm thick. Cut out 16 x 7 cm rounds – you will need to re-roll the dough to get all 16 cakes.
Grease the hot griddle with some butter, then pop the cakes onto the griddle and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Before serving your Welsh Cakes, sprinkle the cakes with extra caster sugar, pile up the berries alongside and add a dollop of cream!
