Welsh cakes

I’m always on the lookout for quick, simple, fussy eater friendly recipes.

I had never made these before but was pretty sure they’d tick boxes before I started.

I was not wrong! However, the biggest bonus of these was not that they tasted great – which they did – but that they really didn’t need any toppings (and I am a butter-aholic!!)

A cross between a scone and a biscuit they are perfect for lunchboxes or something quick and simple for afternoon tea.

Remember, changing up even slightly the foods a picky eater eats is progress, particularly if your child is on the more extreme end of fussy eating.

Recipe
112 gm flour (I used wholemeal)
2 tsp baking powder
55 gm butter
4 tsps sugar (I used coconut)
Handful of sultanas
½ egg beaten
1 dessert spoon milk (less/more, as needed)

Method
Crumb flour, baking powder and butter (I whacked it in the food processor).
Add sugar, egg and sultanas and mix.
Form a dough ball. You may need to add some milk. I found that it went from too dry to almost too wet very quickly. I also found that it seemed so dry to begin with but actually formed a dough ball despite this!
Heat a heavy pan to medium heat. Rub the surface with butter.
Roll the dough to 5 mm thickness.
Cut into circles or squares.
Cook in pan for approx 3 mins each side until golden brown and cooked through. Dust with sugar, if you wish.
Serve straight away or keep in an airtight container. Like most home-baking it is best eaten in the first day or so. If not, freeze until ready to use.
