TRADITIONAL WELSH CAKES RECIPE FROM MARY BERRY



Traditional Welsh Cakes Recipe from Mary Berry image

Welsh cakes are delightfully rustic, delicate, and delicious. They're like a cross between a scone and the fluffiest of pancakes--perfect with a cup of tea.

Categories     desserts

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups self-rising flour ((or 2 cups of all-purpose flour mixed with 2 teaspoons baking powder))
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter ((1 stick, 115g; cold, diced, plus more for the griddle))
½ cup superfine sugar
½ cup currants
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon allspice
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg ((beaten))
2-4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. You can also do this step using a food processor.
  • Add the sugar, currants, and spices, and stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Add the egg and enough milk to form a soft but not sticky dough. Mary Berry needed a little more than 2 tablespoons. I needed closer to 4 tablespoons. The dough should resemble pie crust dough. You can knead it to get it to come together, but no more than a few times. You don't want your Welsh cakes to turn out tough!
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a ¼-inch thickness. Cut into rounds with the pastry cutter until all of the dough has been used (just ball up any excess and re-roll in order to cut out as many as you can). I used a scalloped 2-inch round and a similar-sized heart.
  • Heat a griddle or heavy frying pan over medium heat, and melt a little butter in it. A thin pat is sufficient for each batch--that's 7 welsh cakes that fit into my cast-iron skillet.
  • Cook the Welsh cakes over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown. Be careful on the first flip, as they are still a little fragile--similar to American pancakes--at this point. During the cooking process, you may have to turn the heat up or down. I modulated between medium-high and medium-low.
  • Let cool on a wire rack and continue to cook the cakes in batches. They're best when fresh, and even a little warm. You can sprinkle them with powdered sugar and serve with, obviously, a lovely cup of tea.
