Ingredients:

450g self-raising flour
140g hard margarine
60g butter
150g golden caster sugar
80g currants
1 egg
80ml milk

Method:

Sift the flour into a bowl then cube the fats and add to the flour, rubbing in with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir-in the sugar and currants then add the egg and milk and bring the mixture together as a dough.

Turn onto a lightly-floured work surface and roll out to about 6mm thick. Cut into rounds with a 6cm diameter pastry cutter. Heat a griddle pan or heavy-based frying pan over medium heat then add the Welsh cakes and fry until lightly-browned on both sides (about 6 minutes per side). Take out of the pan and sprinkle with caster sugar. Serve warm with butter and jam.
