Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter
½ cup dried currants
¼ cup buttermilk
1 egg
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon caraway seed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in currants.
  • Mix in beaten egg. Pour in milk and mix with a fork to make a soft dough (may need a little more milk).
  • On a floured surface, shape dough into a ball and knead lightly 5 or 6 times. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick and cut into squares and triangles with a knife (approximately 2 inches in diameter).
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until slightly browned.
