Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 tablespoons Light Brown Sugar plus a little extra for sprinkling the tops
  • Whole Nutmeg freshly grated (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Allspice
  • 4 ounces Unsalted Butter cut into cubes
  • 1 cup Dried Currants or other dried fruit
  • 2 large Egg beaten
  • 1/4 cup Cold Milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the sugar, nutmeg and allspice.
  • Add the butter and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mix until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in the currants, eggs and milk. Mix to form a stiff batter and all the flour is absorbed.
  • Drop palm-size mounds of the batter onto a parchment lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
  • Sprinkle the tops with sugar.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until they are golden.
  • Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
