CACEN GNEIFO (WELSH SHEARING CAKE)



Cacen Gneifo (Welsh Shearing Cake) image

From an old Welsh cake recipe collection, purchased in Wales in 1992. "Sheep shearing time was, and still is, one of the major social occasions in Welsh rural life, for in the difficult hill districts especially farmers help each other with the rounding-up and shearing of their enormous flocks of sheep on a rota basis. The host farm kitchen is busy for days beforehand preparing pies and tarts and cakes and baked meats ready to feed the shearers. This cake, with its caraway seed flavour, is traditional to the shearing time."

Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
1 2/3 cup self-rising cake flour
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Scant 1/2 cup golden raisins
1 large egg, beaten
3 -inch crinkle round cutter
Smooth griddle or cast-iron frying pan

Steps:

  • Rub the butter into the flour as you would if making biscuits, then stir in the sugar, spice, and dried fruit. Add the egg to make a soft but not sticky dough. Form a disc, cover with plastic wrap, and leave in the refrigerator for a minimum of 20 minutes.
  • Roll out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch, and cut out your little cakes; you will need to re-roll and so forth but that shouldn't be problematic. Preheat your unoiled griddle or cast-iron frying pan and cook the cakes for about 3 minutes each side, until golden brown. Remove to a cold plate and sprinkle with sugar.

WELSH CAKES



Welsh Cakes image

We attended a county fair in Wales and the ladies of the local church were baking and selling these. We asked for the recipe and they graciously shared it with us. This has been converted to US standard. They are delicious and not as sweet as some of our style cookies. Dried currants can be used in place of the raisins.

  • Chill dough 1 to 2 hours.
  • Roll the dough to 1/4 inch on floured surface and cut with 3 inch rounds. Bake the cakes on a greased griddle or frying pan (I use my electric skillet with just a little non-stick spray) over low heat until golden brown. Cool and sprinkle with sugar. These also freeze well.

CACEN DDYRNU (WELSH THRESHING CAKE)



Cacen Ddyrnu (Welsh Threshing Cake) image

From an old Welsh cake recipe collection, purchased in Wales in 1992. "Like harvest and sheep-shearing, threshing time was an occasion for feeding a hungry number of workers, and this is the cake traditionally made for it. Note the use of bacon dripping, often used in cake-making im Wales in the old days, for there was always plenty of it with bacon the most usual meat. You can of course substitute lard or vegetable fat if you wish, but the bacon fat does impart a distinctive flavour to the cake."
