Welsh Tea Cakes Recipe Rating 4

These longtime family favorites are crisp on the outside, slightly chewy in the center and full of currants. The dough is not overly sweet, so sprinkling the tops with sugar enhances the flavor and gives them a nice look.—Wendy Lehman, Huron, Ohio

Very good. Not too sweet. I thought it needed more spice, so added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. I plan to try adding ginger as well.
