Welsh Cakes

I didn't have a griddle so cooked in a frying pan and a few came out well done :)


110 g butter
  • 225 g self raising flour
  • 80 g caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 80 g sultanas
  • caster sugar, for dusting
  1. In a large bowl, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, eggs and sultanas. Mix with your hands until a firm dough forms.
  2. Turn out the dough onto a floured board and roll out until 1cm (1/2 in) thick, then cut into rounds using a fluted cutter.
  3. To cook, grease a griddle or a cast iron pan with butter and then wipe away with kitchen paper. Cook the Welsh cakes for 2 to 3 minutes until a dark caramel colour forms on the underside, then flip over and cook the same on the other side.
  4. Arrange on a serving plate, then dust with caster sugar while still hot. Serve hot or cold.
