Ingredients
- 450 g (2 cups or 1 lb ) plain flour
- 225 g (1 cup or 8 oz ) butter
- 170 g (¾ cup or 6 oz) castor sugar
- 4 eggs
- 85 g (3 oz) currants , sultanas , raisins or other dried fruit

- pinch of salt
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour then rub together with the butter and salt until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Mix in sugar and dried fruit.
Add eggs one at a time, beating together until mixture forms a thick dough. If dough will not form, add a small amount of milk (i.e. a tablespoon ).
Knead for two to three minutes until dough becomes cohesive and slightly elastic.
Roll dough out on a flat surface.
Cut 2–3-inch circles from the dough and fry on a griddle until golden brown.
