Welsh Cookies

This is my grandmother’s recipe for Welsh Cookies. It’s simple and easy and makes a ton of cookies. Grandma used lard to make these cookies, I use Crisco. If Crisco kind of wigs you out, you can use butter. I believe though that unless you are on a strict diet for medical reasons, Crisco has a place in your kitchen. It probably shouldn’t be an every day kind of thing, but nothing makes a lighter fluffier cookie or a flakier pie crust than old fashioned shortening.

Welsh Cookies

Traditional Welsh Cookies 

  • Author: Rocky Mountain Woman

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 C Crisco, lard or butter

2 C sugar

3 eggs, slightly beaten

1 C milk

5 C flour 

3 t baking powder 

1 1/2 t nutmeg

1 t salt

10 ounces currants 

Instructions

Cream the shortening and sugar together

Add eggs and mix thoroughly

Sift together flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt

Add the flour mixture to the Crisco mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing after each addition

Fold in the currants

Roll half the dough out into a round, about 1/4 ” thick

Cut into rounds with a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter

Cook in a cast iron skillet or on a griddle that’s been wiped with a little Crisco a few minutes on each side or until they start to brown slightly – the perfect thing for this is an electric griddle or electric fry pan set at about 375 degrees 

Repeat with the other half of the dough

      Everything in moderation, right? I don’t cook with it every day, but there are some recipes where it makes a huge difference!
