Time 1h35m

Yield about 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), cold and diced, plus more for cooking
3/4 cup currants
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 to 3 tablespoons buttermilk
Melted butter, for cooking

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.

These cookies are a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices to the dough.

I'm not a baker but I was able to make these cookies without any problems. They turned out great! My family loved them. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup.

I made these cookies for a bake sale and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them. They're so simple to make but they taste like they came from a bakery. I'll definitely be making these again.

I'm not usually a fan of shortbread cookies, but these Welsh cookies are the exception! They are so buttery and crumbly, with a perfectly balanced sweetness. I love the unique flavor of the spices in the dough. I highly recommend this recipe to anyon

These Welsh cookies were a hit at my holiday party! I got the recipe from my Welsh grandmother who has been making these cookies for 60 years. The cookies are buttery, with a hint of spice and a light dusting of sugar. They're so delicious!!
