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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin or grease well with butter.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the milk and egg mixture into the slightly cooled butter, honey, and sugar mixture, stirring continuously to avoid curdling.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with tea, and enjoy the tender, spiced flavors of these Welsh delights!
