Milk Chocolate Welsh Cakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

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

   Tip: Use a whisk or a wooden spoon for this step.

3. 3

   Add the melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: Use a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients until well combined.

4. 4

   Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together.

   Tip: Be gentle when adding the egg to avoid overmixing the dough.

5. 5

   Fold in the milk chocolate chips.

   Tip: This will help distribute the chocolate evenly throughout the dough.

6. 6

   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

   Tip: Use a gentle kneading motion to avoid overworking the dough.

7. 7

   Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each into a round cake.

   Tip: Use a rolling pin to help shape the cakes if needed.

8. 8

   Place the cakes on the prepared baking tray, leaving about 2.5 cm of space between each cake.

9. 9

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown.

   Tip: Use a toothpick to check for doneness.

10. 10

    Allow the cakes to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving plate.

    Tip: This will help prevent the cakes from getting soggy.

11. 11

    Drizzle the milk chocolate glaze over the top of the cakes.

    Tip: Use a spatula to create a smooth, even glaze.
