Welsh Cakes (Bakestone Recipes)

Directions

Sift the flour, baking powder and spice into a mixing 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 ¼ 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.
