Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 125 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Honey
- 50 g Sugar
- 120 ml Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin or grease well with butter.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the honey and sugar, stirring gently until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until combined.
Slowly pour the milk and egg mixture into the slightly cooled butter, honey, and sugar mixture, stirring continuously to avoid curdling.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with tea, and enjoy the tender, spiced flavors of these Welsh delights!
