- To make the Welsh cakes, rub the butter and lard into the self-raising flour. Add the sugar, currants, mixed spice and honey. Add the beaten egg and mix to a firm dough.
- Roll out the mixture on a lightly floured surface to m/n thick, then cut out - x m//n discs. Heat a heavy-based frying pan, ideally non-stick, over a low-medium heat and cook the cakes until golden on both sides &# about minutes in total. Keep warm.
- To make the apple layer, melt the butter in a medium pan and cook the apples with the mixed spice until they turn soft and pulpy, about minutes. Stir in the honey to taste.
- Mix together the Caerphilly cheese and the single cream.
- To serve, split each Welsh cake and arrange one thin disc in the centre of each serving plate. Spread over a layer of Caerphilly Cream, then add a good spoonful of spiced apple. Place the remaining Welsh cake disc on top at an angle. Dust with icing sugar if you like.
