Ingredients
- 225 g (8 oz) plain flour
- 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
- 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) baking powder
- 50 g (2 oz) lard, diced
- 40 g (1 1/2 oz) caster sugar
- 75 g (3 oz) currants
- 45 ml (3 tbsp) vegetable oil
- 25 g (1 oz) butter
Directions
Put the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl, then rub in the lard until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Stir in the sugar and currants, then mix with 45 - 60 ml (3 - 4 tbsp) water to make a soft dough.
Turn out on to a lightly floured surface and roll out until 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick. Using a 5 cm (2 inch) plain cutter, cut out 12 rounds.
Heat the oil and the butter in a heavy-based frying pan and fry the cakes for 2 - 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
Eat warm or very fresh.
