1.: Place the flour into a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub in. Stir in 75g of sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon and the dried fruit. Break the egg into the centre of the ingredients and mix in adding enough milk to mix to a dough.
2.: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to between 5mm and 1cm thick. Cut out rounds using a 6cm cutter, re-rolling any trimmings. Cook the cakes on a greased flat griddle or in a heavy based frying pan for about 3 minutes each side, until golden brown, crisp and cooked through.
3.: Mix the remaining caster sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the welsh cakes before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
