How to make Ann Romney's Welsh Skillet Cookies

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 dozen 3inch cookies
1 egg
1 1/4 c currants
1/2 c milk
3 1/2 c flour
1 c granulated sugar
2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 c butter

Steps:

  • Beat the egg with the milk.
  • Add currants.
  • Sift all other dry ingredients together.
  • Work butter into flour and mix until mealy.
  • Pour milk and currants over flour and butter mixture all at once and mix well.
  • Wrap in wax paper and chill for at least one hour.
  • Roll it a little less than half an inch thick - about 3/8 of an inch. - I put the handles of wooden spoons to either wide of the dough to run my rolling pin along them to keep the thickness even - it's very important not to roll too thin.
  • Cut out rounds with cookie cutter.
  • Cook on a pancake griddle greased with oil (325 degrees Fahrenheit) on both sides.
  • Flip the cookies when you see they are shiny.
  • Cook it for less time on the second side - I turned mu cookies over a few times on each side until the centers felt set and not too soft and doughy
  • Roll the edges in granulated sugar and let cool.
  • Allow to cool before eating (they actually taste better once cooled)
