Ingredients

8 ounces self-rising flour
pinch of salt
4 ounces butter
2 ounces castor sugar
2 ounces currants
2 smalls eggs
2 tablespoons milk

Preparation

1
Mix flour and salt, and rub in butter until like breadcrumbs.
2
Stir in sugar and currants.
3
Add eggs and mix to a fairly stiff dough.
4
Roll out dough to approx 1/4 inch thickness (slightly thicker works well, too).
5
Use small/medium diameter pastry cutter to cut into rounds - don't forget to re-roll the trimmings!
6
Place rounds of dough on a moderately hot griddle for approximately 3 minutes each side - the heat of the griddle is critical so as not to over-brown the cakes! Experiment to find the correct heat.
