Welsh cakes

Method

1. Rub the butter and flour together in a large bowl.

2. Fold in the sugar, spices and dried fruit.

3. Add the egg and mix to a stiff dough.

4. Dust a clean work surface with a little flour and roll the dough out to a thickness of ½ cm. Stamp out rounds with a scone cutter.

5. Heat a large griddle or heavy bottomed frying pan and cook the cakes fairly briskly over a medium heat for about 2 minutes, until golden. Turn them over and cook for a further 2 minutes.

6. Sprinkle with caster sugar and serve warm with butter, ice cream or clotted cream. Alternatively, transfer to a wire rack to cool and serve at room temperature.
