Ingredients

220 gram flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

55 gram sugar

110 gram butter

110 gram currants

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup milk, possibly more

icing sugar, for dusting

Method

1.Sift the flour, baking powder and sugar into a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub into the flour. I rub it between the palms of my hands until I get a breadcrumb consistency.

2.Add currants, beaten egg and enough milk to get a nice dough. I used about half a cup.

3.Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into biscuit-sized shapes. Cook cakes in a lightly buttered pan until golden brown, then turn over and cook the other side. Dust with icing sugar while they are still hot.
