Steps:

Thoroughly mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until particles are the size of rice kernels. Stir in currants.
Add the milk and stir with a fork only until a soft dough is formed.

Bake at 450 for 12 to 15 minutes. About 1 1/2 dozen biscuits.
