This recipe is for traditional Welsh cakes, a sweet biscuit-like pastry popular in Wales, United Kingdom. The recipe calls for butter, self-rising flour, salt, sugar, currants or chocolate, mixed spice, honey, egg and milk. To make them, the dry ingredients are cut into the butter until crumbly, then mixed with wet ingredients to form dough. The dough is rolled out and cut into rounds, which are griddled on both sides until cooked through. Welsh cakes are usually dusted with sugar and eaten fresh but can also be stored in an airtight tin. Variations can include different fruits or spices.
