In a large bowl put in the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices. Mix really well.

Add the butter and cut in until crumbly (smaller than pea-sized bits). Add the currants. Make a well in the center.

Beat the egg and milk together. Pour into the well. Mix together like you would biscuit dough.

Preheat a heavy frying over medium heat.

Roll out your dough on a floured surface until 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough with a heart-shaped cookie cutter.

Melt a tsp of butter in the frying pan and add your welsh cakes. Brown them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Roll in sugar while still hot.
