Normally cooked on a thick cast iron griddle called a planc or maen in Welsh, the secret to success is gentle, slow and even cooking. These gluten free Welsh Cakes spread a little on cooking so don’t overcrowd them and allow room for gentle turning.

  • Ingredients

  • 225g Glutafin Gluten Free Select Multipurpose White Mix
    1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
    1 tsp ground mixed spice
    50g caster sugar
    75g butter (chilled)
    75g raisins
    1 medium egg (lightly beaten)
    1 tbsp Milk

  • Method

  • 1. Place griddle or solid-based frying pan over a gentle heat to warm.

    2. Combine the dried ingredients together in a medium size bowl.

    3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

    4. Stir in the egg and milk using a fork and then by hand to make a smooth dough.

    5. Place on a work surface lightly dusted with a little flour mix. Knead dough for 2 minutes and then roll out to a 1 ½ cm thickness. Cut into 8 rounds using a 6cm plain cutter.

    6. Place Welsh Cakes a few at a time onto the heated griddle or pan over a gentle heat. Cook for 8 minutes before gently turning over with a spatula. Cook for a further 7 – 8 minutes until the dough is cooked and before the surfaces get too brown.

    7. Serve immediately!

    8. Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
