Maple Welsh Cakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350ºfF).

   Tip: Use a non-stick pan to prevent the cakes from sticking.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, salt, and baking powder.

   Tip: Make sure to whisk well to incorporate all the dry ingredients.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, mix the butter, maple syrup, egg, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.

   Tip: Don't overmix, as this can result in dense cakes.

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.

   Tip: Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

6. 6

   Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls onto the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

   Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan, cook in batches if necessary.

7. 7

   Serve the Welsh cakes warm, dust with powdered sugar if desired.

   Tip: Enjoy with your favorite toppings, such as clotted cream and jam.
