4 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. shortening
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. milk
2/3 c. currants

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in shortening, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add beaten eggs, milk and currants. Stir until combined, then knead a few times. Roll out 1/2 at a time on floured surface to thickness of 3/8 inches. Cut into 2 inch circles with floured biscuit cutter. Bake over low heat on ungreased griddle (I use an electric skillet set at 325 degrees) for about 4 minutes per side until light brown. Makes about 3 dozen. (These freeze well and should be frozen if they are not eaten in a day.)
