Currants Roll image

This is a pastry that I have grown up eating. It is very delicious and flaky yet soft. If you can't find currants use raisins (but then it'll be a raisin roll ;) - no matter, it is still just as delicious!) I haven't tried this recipe yet but I intend to make some very soon! I don't know the servings so I am estimating.
