That's a lot of baking! My hubby would be in his element if I'd have baked anything!

I don't know PJ .... it is an ancient secret passed from Druid to Druid
Recipes do vary a little, mine is a bit on the sweet side:
8oz flour
4 oz butter
4 oz castor sugar
2 oz currants
quarter teaspoon mixed spice
pinch of salt
1 egg, beaten with a little milk.
Sift flour, spice and salt together. Rub in the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs. Add sugar and fruit.
Add a little of the egg / milk mixture to make a firm paste -- be careful as a little mixture goes a long way !
Roll out to about quarter inch thickness and cut into 2 inch rounds.
Grease a griddle or thick / heavy frying pan ( I use a cast iron bakestone ) and cook on a gentle heat for about three minutes a side, until golden brown.
Sprinkle with castor sugar and allow to cool.
Don't tell the druids, but I sometimes replace the currants with sultanas or chopped glace cherries.

Mmm shame I am banned from sweet stuff now. If I am to save my remaining teeth my dentist banned fizzy drinks and sweets. I can have a 'treat' on a Sunday after my meal but must brush my teeth afterwards [:(]
I have lost 3/4 of a stone in 6 weeks!!
