Step 1

First sift the flour, baking powder and allspice together. Then use a box grater to shred the cold butter and toss it into the dry mixture with a fork. Add the sugar and raisins. (I used raisins but currants are used in the traditional recipe).

Step 2

Finally, add the egg and milk. Stir, then use your fingertips to blend and just hold together. You don't want to overwork the dough and warm the butter. Dust a work surface with flour and roll the dough to 1/3" thickness and use a 2-3" cutter to cut out the cakes. Gather the scraps and fashion them into cakes as well though they won't look quite as nice.

Step 3

If you are not quite ready to fry these up pop them in the fridge a few minutes to keep the butter cold.

Step 4

Heat a griddle or pan to medium and spray with cooking oil. Fry the Welsh cakes on one side for 3-4 minutes then flip and fry an additional 3-4 minutes watching that they don't burn. The internal temperature should read about 195-200°F when cooked.

Step 5

You can sprinkle some sugar over top the warm cakes and serve right away. Store leftovers in an airtight container and gently re-heat in air fryer or microwave.
