Welsh Cakes

As it's St Davids Day, myself and Neve decided to make some welsh cakes. Neve had lots of fun with mixing, cutting and covering the welsh cakes in sugar (and, of course eating the sugar using the spoon)

Ingredients
265g Plain Flour
1 1/2tsp Baking Power
1/2tsp Ground Cinnamon
130g Butter
90g Caster Sugar
70g Raisins
1 Egg
1tbsp Milk

Method
1. Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl, add the butter and rub the butter and flour together to create a breadcrumb like mixture.
2. Stir in the Raisins and sugar, then mix in the egg and add the milk (a little at a time) until the mixture is a firm dough.
3. Lightly flour the surface and roll out the dough. The using a pastry cutter, cut out the welsh cakes.
4. Heat up a frying pan over a low heat, when hot enough grease with butter or oil and cook the welsh cakes for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden brown.
5. Remove the welsh cakes once golden and cooked through, sprinkle with sugar and serve.
