step 1
Sift the flour (110 g) and baking powder (1/2 tsp) into a bowl and then add the allspice (1/2 tsp), sugar (50 g) and a pinch of salt.
step 2
Rub in the butter (50 g) until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
step 3
Add the sultanas (30 g) and egg (1) and mix to form a soft dough. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of milk (as needed).
step 4
Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to about ½cm thick. Cut into rounds using a 6cm cutter.
step 5
Heat a griddle or a heavy cast iron pan over a medium heat until hot and grease with a little butter.
step 6
Cook the Welsh cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and risen slightly.
step 7
Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with extra sugar if eating as-is. Leave off the sugar if serving with jam, cream, or tangy cheese.
