Recipe Introduction


Found on an old recipe card.


List of Ingredients




4 C flour
6 T + 2 tsp baking powder
scant tsp salt
1 C brown sugar
1/4 C + 1 T butter
1/4 C + 1 T shortening
1/2 C currants
2 eggs
sweet milk enough to make a soft dough.

Recipe



Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the brown sugar. Cut in the butter and shortening. Add eggs, currants and milk. Roll out to 3/4 inch thick and cut as for biscuits. Cook on a greased griddle for 3 minutes on each side.

Note;
She would use sour cream or buttermilk, adding a little baking soda to make these stay fresh longer. No shortening needed this way.
I never had her actual measures. Bake at 400 degrees F.
