Catholic Tradition: Soul Cakes
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cardamom
½ teaspoon salt
A few slices of turmeric or pinch of saffron
1/4 cup whole milk
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
8 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
½ cup sugar
2 egg yolks
½ cup currants or raisins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Add turmeric/saffron to the milk and cream and heat just until hot to the touch. Remove from heat. Let steep for 10 minutes to color the milk mixture a yellow.
Combine the flour, the nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Mix well with a fork.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl, until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and blend in thoroughly. Add the spiced flour and combine as thoroughly as possible; the mixture will be dry and crumbly.
One tablespoon at a time, begin adding in the warm turmeric milk, blending vigorously with the spoon. When you have a soft dough, stop adding milk; you probably won’t need the entire half-cup.
Turn the dough out onto a floured counter and knead gently, with floured hands, until the dough is uniform. Roll out gently to a thickness of ½ inch.
Using a floured 2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out as many rounds as you can and set on a greased baking sheet. You can gather and re-roll the scraps, gently. Gently cut a cross shape into each cake.
Decorate the soul cakes with currants or raisins following the shape of the cross and then brush liberally with the reminder milk mixture. Bake for 15 minutes, until just golden and shiny.
