Ingredients:





     2 c  Flour


   3/8 ts Baking powder


     1 tb Sugar, dark brown


     4 oz Butter


   1/2 c  Currants


     1 tb Milk


     2 tb -Water


          -Sugar for dusting on top






 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift the flour and the baking powder. Add a


 pinch of salt, mix in the brown sugar and rub in the butter. Add the


 currants, milk and just enough water to make a soft dough. Roll out the


 dough on a well-floured surface to approximately 1/2 inch thickness and


 using a glass, cut into 2 inch rounds. Dust each circle with a little sugar


 and place on a well greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the


 rascals begin to turn golden. cool on a rack before serving.


 


 Note by A. MacLellan--This is an English recipe and because of the


 difference in flour. I found it necessary to increase the amount of liquid


 and reduce the heat to 375 degrees. I used quite a bit of liquid and make
a


 drop cookie. They take very much like the currant biscuits that you can buy


 from Marks and Spencer at a high price. Source: Mom
