My recipe for welsh cakes.

225g self raising flour. 1/2  to 1 teaspoon mixed spice. pinch of salt. 85g caster sugar. 115g butter or margarine. 85g sultanas. 1 large egg beaten.

Mix the flour spice and salt into a bowl and stir in the sugar. Rub in the butter or marge to make a crumb like mixture.Mix in the sultanas and then mix in the egg using a fork.

Dump the doug onto a lightly floured board and roll out to about 1/4 inch thick. cut into circles abot 2 1/2 inches wide. Then cook on a low heat on your lightly greased griddle for about 30 seconds a side. Or untill they are a nice golden brown.  They always look as if not cooked on the inside, but when left to cool, they are delish.

If you want more, just double the quantities.

Oops, that should have been Dump the Dough onto a floured board.

Yeh Denzil, they go well with clotted cream. Lovely. Or even some Cornish ice cream on them.

They use to make jam and put it in jars with paper on the top and a band but now they are all those twist tops and I dont like them so much. It use to last ages when I was young but now its off in no time
