Ingredients

250 g

plain flour

125 g

best butter

80 g

FAIRTRADE caster sugar

5 g

mixed spice

1 tbsp

dried sage

100 g

mixed dried fruit (FAIRTRADE raisins, sultanas, etc.)

to serve

FAIRTRADE honey

Method

Rub together the butter and flour to form a crumb-like mixture.

Add the caster sugar, fruit and spice, and mix in. Add the egg and stir until combined.

Using your hands, bring the dough together into a ball. Dust your rolling pin and work surface with some flour and roll the dough out onto a floured surface, until it is no more than 1 cm in thickness.

Cut into circles using a fluted or plain cutter.

Heat a griddle or a non-stick frying pan with no oil or butter, then cook the Welsh cakes over a medium heat until brown on both sides (about 3 to 5 minutes).

Serve

Sprinkle with caster sugar then serve warm with a spot of butter and a little Fairtrade Honey.
