Welsh Cakes (bakestone Recipes)

Servings: 4
Ingredients:

8 oz Plain flour
1 t  Baking powder
1/4 t  Mixed spice
2 oz Butter or margarine
2 oz Lard
3 oz Granulated sugar
2 oz Raisins (or currants)
1    Egg, beaten
3 T  Milk

Sift the flour, baking powder and spice into a mizing bowl. Cut the fat
into the flour, and rub it to a breadcrumb-like consistency; then mix in
the sugar and raisins. Mix in the egg, and sufficient milk to make a
stiff dough. Roll out on a floured board to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3
inch rounds. Bake on a hot greased bakestone until golden brown, about 4
minutes on each side.

Variation: ‘Teisen Dinca’ — Make up the Welsh Cake dough adding 6 oz
peeled and grated cooking apples before adding the egg. Mix to a stiff
dough, adding milk if necessary. Roll out, cut into rounds and cook on
the bakestone as for Welsh Cakes. Serve hot with butter, golden syrup, or
honey.
