Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the flour, salt and nutmeg together.

  2. 2

    Add the butter into the mix and run it through your fingers to make a fine crumb texture.

  3. 3

    Add the sugar, milk and dried fruits/choc chips. With a spoon, gently bring it together without properly mixing (this will toughen the dough).

  4. 4

    Pour out onto a floured surface and with a rolling pin, roll out a sheet of dough about 3 to 5mm thick. If the dough is too wet to roll, add a sprinkling of flour.

  5. 5

    Cut a cake about 6cm wide and set aside. Repeat until all the dough is gone.

  6. 6

    Using a cast iron pan or griddle, add some vegetable oil or butter and heat. Fry each Welsh cake until a golden brown colour is reached. You may have to fiddle around with heats and hobs but try and keep it as hot as possible. The first one is always bad - trust the process!
