(Welsh: pice ar y maen)
Knead together sifted flour, baking powder and light butter. Mix in sugar and raisins. Crack the egg, add it gradually and mix everything together well until you get a uniform dough. Roll out the dough (about 6 mm thick). Cut out with ramekins as desired.
Lightly grease a heavy frying pan (as you would a gratin dish). Toast each side of the Welsh cakes for about 3 minutes over medium heat until golden brown. When they come out of the roasting pan warm, sprinkle with sugar.
Important: You need a heavy coated frying pan for frying, otherwise the Welsh cakes will burn easily.
Tip: If you don’t like raisins, just leave them out.
