Ingredients:

2 cups sifted flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1-1/4 cups heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup Currants

Method:

Preheat oven to 425 deg.

Sift flour, baking powder & salt together.

Chop in the butter with a pastry blender until the butter is the size of peas.

Add the heavy cream. Stir only until no flour shows. Add more flour if needed to make a soft dough. Mix in the currants.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface & kneed gently about fifteen times.

Shape into two balls and roll into rounds about 1/2" thick & cut into eight wedges.

Glaze with butter brushed on then sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 15 minutes.
