Here is my recipe for cookies made on an electric skillet. They are delicious and great with tea or coffee.

Welsh Cookies

(In Parenthesis is half recipe)

6 cups flour (3 cups)
2 cups sugar (1 cups)
1/2 tsp nutmeg (1/4 tsp)
1 tsp salt (1/2 tsp)
1 tsp cream tartar (1/2 tsp)
1 tsp baking powder (1/2 tsp)
1 tsp baking soda (1/2 tsp)
2 sticks butter, cold (1 stick)
1 cup lard (1/2 cup)
1/2 box currants, NOT raisins (1/4 box)
3 eggs (whisk, measure and divide in half)
1/2 tsp vanilla (1/4 tsp)
1/2 cup milk (1/4 cup)

Mix first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Next cut in butter and lard.Add currants. Add next 4 ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Chill batter about 45 minutes.

Roll out abut 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a round biscuit or cookie cutter. Fry on an un-greased Teflon griddle or electric skillet set at 350 degrees. Cook till lightly browned on each side. Do not over cook or they will be dry. Cool on racks and sift on powdered sugar.

Hint: If freezing, don't add powdered sugar until the cookies thaw.

That's a great idea! I like to make cookie dough and freeze the unbaked cookies so that I can make just 6 at a time. That way we (meaning ME) won't eat too many at once. I'll try this. Thanks
