How to Make Welsh Cakes Aussie Style
- Preheat your oven to 160-180°C (320-350°F).
- In a large bowl, combine 200g self-raising flour, 50g caster sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Cut in 50g cold unsalted butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 150ml milk until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to approximately 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a 7cm cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut out the Welsh cakes.
- Lightly grease a baking tray with oil or baking spray.
- Place the uncooked Welsh cakes onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each one.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cakes sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
