  • Serves: 10
  • Yield: 30 pancakes
  • Ready in: 25 mins (15 mins Prep - 10 mins Cook)
Traditional Welsh pancakes. These make a lovely afternoon treat for children coming home from school! I think you get the best results if you use an electric griddle.

Ingredients

  • 300g (10 oz) plain flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 120g (4 oz) sugar
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (or allspice)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 170g (6 oz) butter
  • 100g sultanas
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 60ml milk

Preparation method

  1.   In large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, sugar, nutmeg & salt. Mix well.
  2.   Cut in butter & blend into dry ingredients until the mixture appears like coarse breadcrumbs. Add sultanas, beaten eggs & milk; mix into soft dough.
  3.   Turn out onto lightly floured surface, roll out gently (will be a soft dough) to about 1/2cm thick. Cut out pancakes using a 6cm cutter.
  4.   Preheat electric griddle pan to 180 degrees C or heat a heavy non-stick frying pan to medium heat.
  5.   Lightly grease griddle or pan with a knob of butter.
  6.   Place cakes on griddle and allow to cook for 2 -3 minutes or until golden. Flip over to cook the other side.
  7.   You can add a sprinkle of sugar at this point, if desired. Place on plate to cool and serve warm.

    Review: enigma

    Made the recipe gluten free (see tweak) and they were fab! My husband and I lost track of how many we made because we ate so many warm as they came off the pan!! Really easy and the best for a gluten free welshcake that I have made.

    Review: Kirsty

    These are great. Just like my Nan used to make in Ynysbwl, Wales. She used to make them when we visited and we would take them home in hundreds of ice cream tubs. They freeze really well.
