8 oz self-raising flour
1 oz candied peel
4 oz lard or margarine
2 oz sugar
4 oz currants
1/2 pt milk
1/2 tsp mixed spice
(beaten egg to glaze)
Rub the fat in the flour, then add the currants, sugar, peel and mixed spice. Add sufficient milk to make into a soft dough. Roll out to half an inch thickness and cut to shape with a round cutter. Brush with beaten egg to glaze and bake at about 350F for 10 to 15 minutes. These are nice split and spread with butter.
