Mrs. Hinton's Welsh Cakes

Go on my son!!
By Andy Brown December 10 2007
Ever wondered how Leigh Hinton got to be such a good rugby player? His kicking ability? His safety under the high ball? His surprising pace? It's difficult to be sure, but some say it's down to the nurture from his dear Mum. Growing up on a diet of these delicious welsh delicacies seems to have had a positive effect!
Mrs. Hinton's Welsh Cakes
1lb self raising flour
8ozs margarine (hard sort cut up)
6ozs sugar
3ozs currants or sultanas
2 eggs
a little milk
Pinch of salt
Sieve the flour & salt into a mixing bowl. Add margarine and rub in to resemble bread crumbs. Add the sugar and fruit and stir in with the beaten eggs and milk. Mix to a stiff dough. Place on a floured surface, knead lightly and rollout to 1/4inch thick. Use a cutter or the rim of a glass to cut into circles. Cook on a preheated, lightly greased, flat griddle on a low heat until golden brown on both sides. Cool on a wire rack and serve warm. (spread with butter or without)

Re: Mrs. Hinton's Welsh Cakes
I'm sure you kept the 'little special ingredient' out of the recipe though - can't go giving away all your cullinary secrets can you Bo'?

Still a Tyke - whatever the name!

The wife (who is Welsh) makes them for St David's day. She adds something else not on the list above, cinnamon I think?

Bo

It's your recipe so added your name as author. We always have to provide the top bit to publish so I took the liberty. My apologies, I'll take it off...

If they are, the supporters crowd will be sadly depleted next home game!
