WDA


List of Ingredients




340g plain flour
200g butter
125g caster sugar
6 tablespoons Ale
currants, dried cranberries or chocolate drops to decorate


Recipe



Make a rich shortcrust pastry by rubbing the fat into the flour, then add the sugar, mix well before adding the beer to make a dough. Roll out to about 1 cm thick and use a round cutter to make small biscuits.
Put on a greased baking sheet. Decorate with the dried fruit or chocolate, brush with a little milk and bake at 350°F/180°C/gas mark 4 for 12-15 minutes.
These were traditionally made and sold at Llanddarog Fair but cut into rectangular shapes and decorated with currants.
