Total Time:
Delicious Welsh currant cookies that are perfectly balanced, not too sweet.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 0.25 cup shortening
  • 0.5 cup dried currants
  • 1 egg
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 0.33333334326744 cup granulated sugar for decoration
Instructions:
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup of sugar in a medium bowl until fully mixed. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter and shortening until the mixture is crumbly. Gently stir in the currants.
  • Whisk egg and milk together in a 1-cup measure. Pour into flour mixture and lightly mix with fork until just combined. Dough should resemble pastry dough.
  • Flatten the dough to 1/4 inch thickness using a floured rolling pin on a lightly floured pastry cloth or board. Cut out shapes with a 3-inch floured cookie cutter.
  • Preheat a greased griddle or large heavy skillet over medium heat until a few drops of water sizzle when dropped on the surface. Cook cakes in batches for about 3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack, sprinkle with sugar, and let cool before wrapping in plastic bags for storing. They can also be frozen for later enjoyment.
