How to prepare: Welsh cakes
Making Welsh cakes is very simple. In a bowl, collect the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and then the butter cut into cubes. Work everything with the planetary mixer at low speed with the whisk k until you get large crumbs. Now add egg and raisins, then mix. Obviously the same operations can be done by hand.
Knead everything until you get a dough with a consistency similar to the shortcrust pastry. Form a loaf and roll it out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured pastry board, bringing it to a thickness of about 5 mm. With a 5-6 cm pastry cutter, cut out many discs. Re-mix the leftover pasta and proceed in the same way.
Dedicate yourself to cooking Welsh cakes: just grease the bottom of a large non-stick pan (so as to cook at least 5-6 at a time) and place the discs on them, spacing them appropriately. Cook them in the very hot pan for about 3 minutes on each side, turning them with a spatula, or in any case until they appear amber. Pass them while they are still hot in granulated sugar.
Serve your welsh cakes immediately on their own or with a jam.
