Welsh Cookies

Here is the recipe that I wrote down while watching Mom make Welsh Cookies about 30+ years ago:
Cream together 4 T. crisco, 1 1/2 C. sugar. Add 2 eggs and blend. Mix 1C. flour with 4 t. baking powder, 1 t. nutmeg and 1 t. salt. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture. When well blended, begin to add flour, about 2 cups at a time, alternately with milk. In total it will come to 8 or 9 C. flour and 2 C. milk. Before it gets too stiff to stir add 1 lb. raisins. Roll out on floured board and cut (use a juice glass for complete authenticity). Cook on dry griddle or in heavy cast iron frying pan over slow to medium heat until cooked through and lightly browned on both sides. Mmmmm

Thanks, Maggie!
(I think to be really authentic those juice glasses have to be recycled grape jelly containers, preferably with pictures of Pecos Bill on them.)

I have to defend myself ... Megan didn't eat raisins as a child, so what is the point of a Welsh cookie w/o raisins?

So, does that mean you will make some for Christmas? Or maybe Wray will bring up some of his to share? :-)
