How to recreate a handwritten Welsh recipe for sweet tea-time treats
In short: This video demonstrates how to prepare traditional Welsh cakes, a family favourite using a handwritten recipe. Learn the specific technique for achieving a light golden colour using either an electric frying pan or a stovetop.
The process begins by rubbing fat and flour together until fine, then incorporating sugar, currants, spice, and baking powder. Once eggs and milk are added to form a soft dough, the mixture is rolled to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
To cook, use an electric frying pan set to 350 degrees or a stovetop on medium heat with a bit of melted butter. The cakes are ready to flip once the tops begin to dry out, and they should be finished with a sprinkle of white or fruit sugar.
