Soak the raisins in warm water for 5 minutes, then drain.
Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Rub the cold butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips.
Add the granulated sugar, egg, milk, and raisins, then form a dough that just comes together.
Roll the dough to 7 millimeters thick and cut into rounds.
Cook the Welsh cakes in an ungreased pan for 3 minutes per side until browned.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Soak the raisins in warm water for 5 minutes before adding them to the dough; they stay soft in the pan without burning.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Welsh cakes warm with strong tea, jam, or clotted cream if desired.
