Directions

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃). Grease a baking sheet.

Sift flour with baking powder and salt.

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

Stir in currants and add enough milk to make a soft dough.

Roll out dough on a floured surface to a ½-inch thickness.

Cut out 2-inch circles with a biscuit cutter or glass, and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until well-risen and lightly browned.

Serve hot, sliced crosswise, with butter and jam if needed.
