How to make Welsh Cakes - fried Welsh cakes

• Mix the flour with sugar, spices, and baking powder.
  300 g wheat flour - all-purpose, 70 g sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 pinch salt
  
• Add cold lard and butter cut into pieces and mix or rub with your fingers.
  60 g butter, 60 g lard
  
• Add the egg and chopped raisins or cranberries to the dough and knead it - if necessary, add a little cold milk.
  1 egg, 50 g raisins, 2-3 tablespoons milk
  
• Wrap the dough in foil and chill in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
• Take the chilled dough out onto a floured surface, knead briefly, and roll out into a disc about half a centimeter thick.
• Cut circles from the dough, knead the remaining dough again, roll out, and cut out more cookies.
  
• Heat a frying pan over medium heat (I used a large non-stick pancake pan) - you can grease it with melted butter.
• Fry the cookies for a few minutes on each side - be careful not to burn them.
  
• Before serving, you can additionally coat them in sugar (if the cookies were fried without fat, I recommend first brushing them with a little milk and then sprinkling with sugar).
