1 3/4 c. flour, sifted
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
3 tbsp. milk
1/2 c. Citron (or candied peel), finely chopped
1/2 c. currants
1 egg white, slightly beaten
Sugar

Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cream butter; gradually beat in sugar and egg. Add milk, citron, currants and flour mixture. Blend thoroughly. Chill. Roll dough between palms of hands into balls the size of walnuts. Dip tops in egg white, then sugar. Place with sugared side up 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake in 400 degree preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen. (I prefer to half fill cups in shallow patty pan and bake as above).
