Welsh Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 oz. flour
4 oz. butter
3 oz. currants
a little milk
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 oz. sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp. nutmeg or allspice

Preparation

Mix spices and flour; rub butter into spiced flour.
Add sugar and currants; bind with beaten egg and milk to form a stiffish paste.
Roll out on floured board to about 1/4-inch thick.
Cut into 2 1/2-inch rounds.
Bake on moderately hot griddle 3 to 5 minutes each side until mottled brown.
Sprinkle with sugar. These take only a few minutes and they're really wonderful.
