Welsh Cakes - Cacenau Cymraeg

For St David’s Day, 1^st March, or for tea time treats any day, best cooked on the griddle when the Rayburn is alight, but also fine on a heavy based pan with the gas down low… eat them fresh.

Heat up the griddle pan on a LOW gas.

Flour, self raising, 1lb

Butter, salted, 1 pack 250g

Sugar, 6oz

Mixed spice, ½ level tsp

In the food processor mix all the dry ingredients with the butter to make crumbs. Add:

Eggs, 2

Currants, a handful

Pulse to a dough, kneed together if necessary (you don’t want to chop up the currants). Roll out onto a floured board, to just under a centimetre. Griddle slowly until brown, turning once. Cool on wire rack, sprinkle with some:

Sugar, caster.

Serve warm with tea and Welsh conversation.
