Vegan Welsh Cakes Recipe
The texture, flavour and look of these vegan Welsh cakes is spot on - you'd never know they were vegan. They're crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, with bursts of sweet sultanas.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 225 g self-raising white flour (self rising flour)
- 110 g vegan margarine (cubed)
- 85 g white caster sugar (superfine sugar)
- few drops unsweetened plant milk (if needed)
- 55 g sultanas
Instructions
- 1
Put the chia seeds in a small bowl with 2 tbsp of warm water and set aside.
- 2
Rub the flour and margarine together until the texture is like breadcrumbs.
- 3
Add the sugar and chia mix together and mix in with a fork. If you find it’s a bit dry then add a drop or two of plant milk.
- 4
Stir in the sultanas and bring together into a dough.
- 5
Turn out on to a floury surface and roll out to about 7mm (¼ inch) thick.
- 6
Cut out circles using a cookie cutter – the dough should be really easy to work with.
- 7
Warm a frying pan over a medium heat. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side. They need to be golden brown.
- 8
Flip and cook for 1-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat until all your vegan Welsh cakes are cooked.
