Step 1

Take the butter out of the refrigerator and add it directly to the flour pile (do not soften it) If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use it or replace it with 225G of ordinary flour (all-purpose flour) and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. If you want a lighter milky flavor, you can use 50G butter + 50G lard instead of 100G butter, or use all lard. [welsh cake Welsh cake] British dessert made in a pan Illustration 2

Step 2

Use a fork to crush the butter into fine pieces If you find it difficult to press a large piece, you can cut it into smaller pieces first and then press it. (The traditional method is to rub it into crumbs with your hands, and use a fork so you don’t have to worry about the butter melting with the warmth of your hands) [welsh cake Welsh cake] British dessert made in a pan Illustration of how to do it 3

Finished product~ Welsh cake cooking tips

A pan baking tool for those who don’t have an oven. I have read a lot of related recipes, and most of them contain these materials and this ratio. A slight adjustment is that some use self-rising flour directly, and some use flour plus baking powder; Some use butter, some use lard, and some use a combination of butter and lard; The amount of sugar can be increased or decreased according to your own taste. Preserved fruit is usually grapes.Dry but you can also use other. To sum up, this can be regarded as a universal basic formula. Although its name, welsh cake, literally translates to Welsh "cake", However, this shape really doesn’t quite match the image of cakes we generally recognize. In fact, no matter the ingredients, the cooking method or the taste of the finished product, it is very similar to scone.
