Recipe: Welsh Cookie
Traditional Welsh Cake Cookies
3 ½ C Flour
½ tsp. Baking Powder
¼ tsp. Salt
Dash of Nutmeg & Allspice
1 C Sugar
½ pound of Fat (Lard & Butter are best)*
1 Egg
3-4 TBSP Milk
½ C Currants**
Measure flour, baking powder, salt and spcies into a
bowl. Cut in the fat with pastry
tool. Add 1 large egg, slightly beaten
and ½ C Currants. Add milk, 1 Tablespoon
at a time, blend together to form soft dough that is not sticky.
Roll the dough to ¼ inch thick on a lightly floured
board. Cut into rounds with a floured
fluted cutter about 2 inches in diameter.
Cook on a lightly greased electric griddle on medium heat
(275 degrees) until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Roll in cinnamon sugar.
Makes approximately 24 – 2 inch cookies. They keep very well in a tin.
*We used half Shortening and half Butter
**We like Golden Raisins, so that’s what we use instead of
Currants.
Enjoy! These are one of my favorite cookies! I hope you like them too!

I enjoyed these cookies at the Welsh Christmas Tea a few weeks ago. Thanks for the recipe! I love your A Cup of Christmas Tea set, too!
ReplyDeleteMy Grandpa came from Wales and used to make these every Christmas. These look so delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy Grandpa moved to the USA from Wales in the 1920's. He used to make these every Christmas. Just smelling them cooking reminds me of him. These look delicious!
