Welsh Cakes (Pice Ar Y Maen)
- 16 ounces flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch allspice
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 ounces butter
- 4 ounces lard
- 7 ounces sugar
- 4 ounces seedless raisins
- 2 eggs, beaten
- milk, to mix
- caster sugar to sprinkle on the warm cake
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, allspice, and salt in a large bowl. Rub in the butter and lard with your fingertips. Add the sugar and raisins.
- Beat the eggs and add to the mixture along with a little milk, only using enough to make a fairly stiff dough. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of about 1/4 inch and cut into 2 inch rounds with a pastry cutter.
- Cook on a greased griddle or heavy based frying pan over medium high heat for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Dust with sugar and serve warm.
