Welsh Cakes With Salted Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, diced
  • 1/3 cup currants or raisins
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Add the diced butter to the dry ingredients and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Stir in the currants or raisins, then add the beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix to form a soft dough, adding an extra tablespoon of milk if needed.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out the Welsh cakes.
  5. Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the Welsh cakes for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve the Welsh cakes warm, drizzled with salted caramel sauce.
