How to make Cinnamon Welsh Cakes Recipe
To begin making the Cinnamon Welsh Cakes Recipe, we will first make the dough.
To make the dough, in a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon powder and baking powder.
Mix well with a fork to combine evenly. Now add the cold butter cubes into this mixture and mix with the fingers of both your hands to resemble a sand like texture.
Now add in the egg and raisins and bring the dough together.
Wrap the Welsh cake dough in a cling wrap and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
After two hours, remove from the refrigerator, and allow it to sit at room temperature for 2-5 minutes. Now dust the working counter with some flour and begin to roll out the dough into approximately 1.5 cm thickness.
Use a cookie cutter of the desired size and cut the Welsh cakes.
Place the cut Cinnamon Welsh Cakes in a tray and allow it to chill for about 15 minutes in the freezer.
Preheat a skillet with some butter on medium- low heat.
Once its hot, gently place the Cinnamon Welsh Cakes on the skillet, and flip after about a minute.
