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!

  4. My 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!
