Directions
Roll out the pastry to a rectangle 14X18 (45X35cm) and brush with the fat.
FOR THE FILLING: mix together the filling ingredients and distribute evenly over the pastry.
Starting from the shorter side, roll up like a swiss roll.
Then use a sharp knofe to cut off slices about 1¼ inch (1 1/2cm) thick.
Lay these on a greased baking sheet and flatten slightly.
OVEN: preheat for 5 minutes.
BAKING TIME: 15 to 20 minutes FOR THE ICING: Sieve the icing sugar and blend with as much of the water as will give a good coating consistency. Ice the currant wheels while still hot
