A traditional Welsh teatime treat, which I used to make with my grandmother - Carly, International Student Inclusion Officer
Ingredients:
- 225g Self Raising Flour
- Pinch of Salt
- About 1/8 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 100g Softened Unsalted Butter
- 20g Caster Sugar
- 30g Sultanas/Raisins/Currents - or a mix!
- 1 tbsp Whole Milk
- 1 Large Egg
Method:
- Add butter, flour, mixed spice and baking powder to mixing bowl. Use fingers to rub together until the consistency of breadcrumbs.
- Add currants and egg, mix and add a splash of milk
- Flour a clean surface and roll the dough out to approximately 1cm thick with a rolling pin or a bottle
- Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut circles out of the dough (approximately 7cm diameter)
- Heat the skillet or pan on a hob until hot (I use a non-stick frying pan)
