Low Fat Welsh Cakes Recipe

Low Fat Welsh Cakes

In Wales, a right of passage is having your mother pass on the family Welsh cake recipe. Made popular by the coal miners of Wales, Welsh cakes were packed in the miners lunches by their wives. They eventually became popular among everyone as quick delicious treats, and it was common for the Welsh to whip up a batch from common household ingredients upon a visitor's arrival. In this version we replace the butter with a low fat version and egg substitute that still leave us with a treat reminiscent of the Boom Town coal days.

Ingredients:

2 cups of self rising flour	1 stick of low fat butter or margarine.
1 tablespoon of fat-free milk	1/3 cup of egg substitute
3/4 cup of sugar	3 oz currants, raisins, etc.
½ teaspoon of mixed spice

Method:

Preheat your stone (or iron skillet) to medium-low (3). Mix all your ingredients in a bowl and then roll into little balls. Flatten out your balls of dough on a floured surface and transfer to pan and cook for about 4 minutes then flip and repeat.

Sprinkle a small amount of sugar and serve warm. ** You also need some non-fat cooking spray.
