7 c. sifted flour
3 scant c. sugar (granulated)
3 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. nutmeg
6 tsp. baking powder
1 lb. shortening - can be 1/2 lb. lard, 1/4 lb. butter and 1/4 lb. butter - or all
butter
1 lb. currants (10 oz box is ok)
3/4 c. milk

Combine flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg and baking powder. Cut in shortening as for pie dough. Add currants and mix. Add beaten eggs and milk and mix thoroughly.

Roll to 1/8 inch and cut out with small round cookie cutter. Fry on preheated electric griddle (325 or 350 degrees) on each side. (Do not grease griddle.) This makes a large batch - about 16 dozen - so if you wish you can cut the recipe in half, but they keep good.
