2 C flour 1/2 C margarine
1/2 C sugar 1/2 C currants
2 tsp baking powder 1/4 C mixed peel, finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt 1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/3 C milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
In large bowl, put flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in currants and peel. Add eggs and milk. Stir to form ball of dough. Roll 1/4" thick on floured surface. Cut into 2" or 3" rounds. Fry in frying pan over medium heat browning both sides. Pan should be lower temperature than for frying pancakes. Serve cold. Makes 2 to 3 dozen.
Good with raisins but better with currants.
I made this on May 24, 2018. I could not find currants or mixed peel so I used raisins and other dried fruit. Perhaps this is what made it sweeter than I'd like. Not sure I'd make it again. :(
