Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups flour
  • 0.2 teaspoons salt
  • ⅓ cup currants
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • oil (for frying)

Method

  1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mix resembles coarse meal.
  2. Stir in currants. Add just enough milk, a little at a time, to make a firm dough that is like a pie crust.
  3. Roll out onto a well-floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into rounds about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
  4. Coat the bottom of a heavy frying pan with oil. On a low heat, fry cakes 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
  5. Serve piping hot. Makes 8-9.
