Welsh Cakes

Back in the saddle (again!) with some official recipe testing.

Yep, I made it to Choices and found currants. Yep, the Welsh Cakes were as a I remember them.
It isn't a recipe that I would race to try again or ever for that matter; however, they are good if you are looking for a good, sweet, but not too sweet, alternative for a biscuit or cookie alternative to have along with afternoon tea on Mother's Day (which is this upcoming Sunday).

2 cups flour
2 tbsp white sugar
¼ tsp baking powder
½ cup chilled butter
½ cup currants
2 large eggs

Mix together flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture looks like small peas. Add currants. Beat eggs well and add to flour mix and blend to make dough. Roll out to ¼ inch thickness and cut into rounds. Bake on top of greased skillet for three minutes on each side. Flip when brown. Serve warm or cold, with or without butter.

Not sure if I would recommend this for the cookbook or not. Maybe Sis had better luck with her lemon/blueberry version...

Next recipe? Borscht...
