Welsh Cakes are a yummy treat for the Kids on St David’s Day, but too also all year round. Welsh Cakes are very easy to make and a perfect baking option for making with the family.

This is our family recipe we have used for years and will make around 20 Welsh Cakes.

• 50g Caster Sugar
• 2 handfuls of Sultanas

• Clean surface to roll on, (we use this non slip mat from Amazon)
• Crinkle round cutters, we used a 7cm wide one

Method to Make Welsh Cakes

1. Sieve the flour into the mixing bowl and then rub the butter into the flour so it gets into a crumbly consistency.
2. Add in the caster sugar and sultanas and mix together.
3. Add the eggs in and mix into a dough that can be rolled out.
4. Put a light dusting of flour on a surface and roll the dough out to about 1cm thick, then cut them into circles.
