Lovely And Tasty Welsh Cookies

by Eugenia Dickerson

Welsh cookies are well known traditional desserts popular in Wales and all other parts of the UK. Lately they became very popular, thanks to Mr. Romney, who prefer them for his breakfast. In any case, they are easy to prepare and very tasty, and you should certainly try them. They are prepared on a griddle, not in the oven, and taste great in any time of a day.

A temperature controlled griddle can be very useful for baking these lovely snacks, but your thick pancake pan or a nonstick skillet are also quite good. The temperature should be around one hundred and sixty degrees, and your lovely little snacks need to become beautifully golden brown.

Traditional recipe contains flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, nutmeg, eggs, butter, lard and currants. Some recipes contain raisins and cinnamon, some don't, but it really depends only on your personal taste. In some regions people use more baking powder, and their cookies are more fluffy and bigger.

Round Welsh cakes are traditional, but all other shapes are good as well. The dough should be one half of an inch up to one inch thick. Don't make it too thin, because you might burn it, or too thick, because they won't be baked as they should. They should become golden brown.

If you add grated apples or fresh berries into your mixture, your cakes will stay moist longer. Just dust them with some iced sugar and serve with butter and jam, everyone will enjoy them. Although people usually add currants and raisins, you can also chop some other dried fruits and add them in the mixture.

Here is one old, traditional way of making these small delights. You will need 120 grams of butter, 120 grams of lard, 400 grams of flour, one large egg, 175 grams of sugar, some nutmeg, cinnamon salt and milk and 100 grams of currants. You will also need some baking powder and some baking soda. You can replace lard with the same amount of butter, if you like, or add ginger or coriander in your mixture.

You should mix flour, baking soda and powder with spices and fats first, until the mixture forms crumbs. Now you can add other ingredients, and add enough milk to get a dough similar to pie dough, but a little bit moister. The dough can be kept in your fridge for a few days, and you could freeze it if you like, cut in rounds or as it is.

Frozen dough can be used just as it is fresh, once it gets near room temperature. You just have to roll it down to one inch or thinner, and cut it into rounds, or some other shapes. It is easiest to bake them on a temperature controlled griddle, but your pancake pan will be good enough. It is better to use thicker pan for this purpose, or a nonstick skillet.

Welsh cookies are prepared just like small pancakes, but they taste more like cakes. Feel free to use all your favorite spices when preparing them, but avoid putting chocolate in the mixture. If you want, you can serve them with chocolate cream, jam, butter or fresh fruits, they will taste just great.
