Mixed spices	½ tbsp

Instructions

Step 1

Tip the flour, sugar, mixed spice, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl.

Step 2

With fingers, rub in Lactofree spreadable until crumbly, then mix in the currants.

Step 3

Work the egg into the mixture until dough is soft, add a splash of Lactofree milk if it seems a little dry.

Step 4

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to the thickness of your little finger.

Step 5

Cut out rounds using a 6cm cutter, re-rolling any trimmings. Grease a flat griddle pan or heavy frying pan with lard, and place over a medium heat.

Cook the Welsh cakes in batches, for about 3 mins each side, until golden brown, crisp and cooked through. Delicious served warm with butter and jam, or simply sprinkled with caster sugar.
