Fat rascal cookies

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Flour
⅜ teaspoon Baking powder
1 tablespoon Sugar, dark brown
4 ounces Butter
½ cup Currants
1 tablespoon Milk Water Sugar for dusting on top

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift the flour and the baking powder.

Add a pinch of salt, mix in the brown sugar and rub in the butter.

Add the currants, milk and just enough water to make a soft dough.

Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to approximately ½ inch thickness and using a glass, cut into 2 inch rounds. Dust each circle with a little sugar and place on a well greased baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the rascals begin to turn golden. cool on a rack before serving.

Note by A. MacLellan--This is an English recipe and because of the difference in flour. I found it necessary to increase the amount of liquid and reduce the heat to 375 degrees. I used quite a bit of liquid and make a drop cookie. They take very much like the currant biscuits that you can buy from Marks and Spencer at a high price.
