Welsh cakes

Combine the flour, sugar, mixed spice, currants, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the butter cubes and rub into the dry ingredients with fingers and thumbs until integrated. Beat the egg in a small bowl and stir it into the flour and butter mixture. Gradually add sufficient milk to bring the mixture together by hand until it forms a dough. On a surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out the dough to 2cm deep. Cut out rounds with an 8cm cutter. Heat 1 tsp of butter in a frying pan. Fry the cakes for 4-6 mins, turning over once, until golden. Dust with sugar and serve warm with butter.

½ tsp baking powder pinch of sea salt 100g chilled unsalted butter, cubed, plus extra for frying 1 egg milk
