-------- ------------ --------------------------------
    8       oz           Plain flour
    1       t            Baking powder
      1/4   t            Mized spice
    2       oz           Butter or margarine
    2       oz           Lard
    3       oz           Granulated sugar
    2       oz           Raisins (or currants)
    1                    Egg, beaten
    3       T            Milk

   Sift the flour, baking powder and spice into a mizing bowl. Cut the fat
   into the flour, and rub it to a breadcrumb-like consistency; then mix in
   the sugar and raisins. Mix in the egg, and sufficient milk to make a
   stiff dough. Roll out on a floured board to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3
   inch rounds. Bake on a hot greased bakestone until golden brown, about 4
   minutes on each side.

   Variation: "Teisen Dinca" -- Make up the Welsh Cake dough adding 6 oz
   peeled and grated cooking apples before adding the egg. Mix to a stiff
   dough, adding milk if necessary. Roll out, cut into rounds and cook on
   the bakestone as for Welsh Cakes. Serve hot with butter, golden syrup, or
   honey.
