Really Easy Welsh Cakes





 


2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup raisins or currants or chocolate chips
2 eggs mixed with a small amount of milk
2 tsp vanilla

Mix the dry ingredients, then cut in shortening with a pastry blender. Add raisins, blueberries, chocolate chips.. Beat eggs and vanilla well and stir into dry mixture, adding in enough milk to make the dough soft. Roll out dough on floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness, and cut with cookie cutters or you can make squares like I did. You can cook them on the stove top like pancakes and turn over only once. I put mine on a cookie sheet with parchment paper on it and placed it in the oven at 350 for 10-12 minutes.  Serve warm with butter.  My kids ate them plain with the chocolate chips you don't need to add anything else.


Chocolate Shortbread


1 cup butter
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup icing sugar 
1/4 cup cocoa
2 - 2 1/2 cups flour 
2 tbsp milk 


Now I only use 2 cups of flour and use the extra 1/2 cup to help me roll them out.  Mix all ingredients together until it is to stiff to work with a wooden spoon.

Combine all ingredients (you will need to get your hands in there) until well mixed and it forms a dough. Spread the dough out, and flatten as much as possible – use a rolling pin to make it nice and flat if needed, but you may have to flour it a little so it doesn’t stick to the dough. With your hands form the flattened dough so that it is somewhat square in shape. Prick the dough all over with a fork.  Cut with a pizza cutter and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.  You can make these with cookie cutters, but that would not be easy would it.  Another thing you can do is top each cookie with a chocolate chip, my kids like them that way.   Bake in preheated 325 degrees F oven for about 20 minutes.
