How to Make Welsh Cakes Aussie Style

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