Super Simple Chocolate Cake
When cooked the cakes are round about two inches in diameter and half-an-inch thick they can be eaten cold but are best straight from the griddle: warm, dusted in sugar and perhaps spread with slightly salty Welsh farmhouse butter.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured flat surface [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], gently kneed the dough until it is flat and about ¼ inch (0.75 cm) thick then with a round pastry cutter or a glass will do, cut into 2.1/2 inch circles.
Once baked sprinkle with granulated sugar and eat with Welsh butter, jam, honey or they are delicious plain as they come from the griddle.
One of my enduring childhood memories is of my pinafored mother stooping over a baking stone on an open coal fire turning the Welsh cakes until they became a golden colour.
Lightly butter a bake stone (griddle) or heavy frying pan and heat [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], place the mixture on the griddle and bake on each side for about five minutes until golden brown in colour; they should still be soft on the inside.
I took delight at reaching for the table and in helping my mother to mix the ingredients while sneaking a handful of sweet and juicy currents for my own consumption. The real pleasure though was in taking the freshly baked, golden cakes from the griddle and sinking my teath into the firm gold-coloured outside and into the still soft inner cake.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon and mace [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cut the butter into small pieces add to the mix and blend together with two knives (or mix by rubbing with your fingers) now the mixture should look like large crumbs. Add the currents/raisons and stir into the mix. Then add the beaten egg, and sufficient milk to make a light dough.
