Ingredients:

  • 210g self-raising flour

  • 110g butter

  • 75g sugar

  • 1 egg

  • zest of 1 small orange

  • 75g sultanas

Method:

  1. Using your fingers, rub together the butter (cut into cubes) and the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.

  2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix with your hand until it forms a sticky dough

  3. Tip the dough onto a floured work surface and roll out until about 7-8mm thick.

  4. You can now cut the cakes into circles or whatever shape you fancy. Personally, I just cut into squares to avoid having to roll the dough again.

  5. Place the welsh cakes either into a pan or I use my pancake hotplate, cook for about 3 minutes on one side before flipping and doing the same on the other.

  6. One browned remove and enjoy warm with a cuppa!
