WELSH COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your grill and get it nice and hot.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks with the crème fraîche and mustard powder. Stir in the cheese and season with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Now, I’m rather hoping you’ve had a go at making my Cheeky chilli-pepper chutney, but if you haven’t then you can cheat by using a good shop-bought version, or simply chop up a little fresh chilli, to your taste.
  4. Lightly toast your slices of bread on both sides. Smear a good tablespoon of your chutney on to each slice, right to the edge, followed by a quarter of your rarebit mixture. By spreading it right to the edge, the crust won’t burn.
  5. Grill until melted and bubbling. Divide on to plates. With a knife, criss-cross the topping and drizzle with Worcestershire sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, zest, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture looks sandy. Stir in the currants. Beat the eggs and 2 tablespoons of the buttermilk together. Stir into the dry ingredients to make a shaggy dough, add more buttermilk if the dough is dry. Gather dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Roll the dough on a floured workspace into a piece about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 2 to 3- inch rounds.
• Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. Brush the pan surface with butter. Cook the cookies until slightly brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a rack, sprinkle with sugar and cool. Store in a cookie tin.
