Vegan Welsh Cakes

These welsh cakes have a slightly crumbly texture with juicy sweet currants and the soft aromatic notes of the mixed spice. They are perfect when served warm with some butter and a dollop of jam.

Ingredients

Method

Begin by combining together all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl along with the currants. Rub the vegan butter into the dry mix until you have a breadcrumb-like consistency. Now add the oat milk to the mix gradually and work the mix into a dough. 

Dust a surface with flour and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into the thickness of your pinky finger and cut into discs that are roughly 5cm in diameter. 

Bring a pan to medium-high heat and add a little vegan butter to coat. Fry the welsh cakes until they are golden in colour on each side. 

Preheat the oven at 180c and add the cakes to a tray lined with parchment paper and pop in the oven for around 5-10 minutes to bake all the way through. 

Remove from the oven and sprinkle over some cane sugar to serve!
