My Father's cousins wife, (did you get that)...LOL used to visit our home when I was very young and when she came she always brought these wonderful little tea cakes. Needless to say, my brother, sister and I would devour them. Thankfully she gave my Mother the recipe and it has been passed down. I know you will love these very simple little cakes.

How To Make welsh tea cakes

  • Step 1
    Combine flour, baking powder and butter: mix well then add currants, sugar and eggs. Roll out on clean surface using powdered sugar to dust the space you will roll your dough on. Cut with cookie cutter of choice. I like to use a nice round one. Cook in iron skillet like you would a pancake until golden in color. Makes about 4 1/2 dozen.
