Yield Makes about 17

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 tablespoons chilled vegetable shortening
1/3 cup dried currants
5 tablespoons (about) milk
1 egg

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add butter and shortening and rub with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Add currants. Whisk 4 tablespoons milk and egg in small bowl. Add to dry ingredients; stir until moist clumps form, adding more milk if mixture is dry. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch-thick round. Using cookie cutter, cut out 2 1/2- to 3-inch rounds. Gather dough scraps; roll out to 1/2-inch-thick round. Cut out additional rounds.
  • Heat heavy large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange 6 to 8 cakes on griddle. Reduce heat to low and cook until cakes are set and brown, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes. Transfer to rack. Repeat with remaining cakes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These Welsh tea cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar.

Not bad! I've never had Welsh tea cakes before, but these were pretty good. I thought they were a bit dry, so next time I might try adding some more butter or milk to the batter.

These Welsh tea cakes were a hit at my afternoon tea party! They were so easy to make and had a lovely crumbly texture. I added a bit of extra cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter for some extra flavor.
