Simple, Delicious Welsh Cakes Recipe
Welsh cakes are little sweet discs, similar in ingredients and flavour to scones, except quicker and simpler to make. The dough is a combination of flour, butter, eggs and sugar, studded with sultanas and rolled flat. It is then cut into rounds and cooked in a dry hot pan to make delicious, crumbly scone-like cakes.

- 55 g sultanas
