Welsh Cakes

Welsh cakes are a type of skillet or griddle cakes, or drop scones, very well liked by children. Sprinkle with caster sugar before serving.

Ingredients

1⁄4 c sugar
1 egg (beaten)
1⁄2 c currants

Instructions

Knead the butter into the flour until a breadcrumb consistency appears.

Mix in the sugar, currants, mixed spice and egg until forming a uniform dough.

Roll the dough until 1/4 inch thick then cut out circles using all the dough.
