INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup dried currants
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in currants.
  3. Mix in beaten egg. Pour in milk and mix with a fork to make a soft dough (may need a little more milk).
  4. On a floured surface, shape dough into a ball and knead lightly 5 or 6 times. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick and cut into squares and triangles with a knife (approximately 2 inches in diameter).
  5. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until slightly browned.
