List of Ingredients




3 oz margarine
3 oz caster sugar, plus extra for dredging
1 finely grated rind of 1 lemon
6 oz plain flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
2 oz currants
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 190�C,375�F. Cream together margarine and sugar until soft and fluffy. Add lemon rind, then fold in flour and mixed spice with currants and enough egg to bind mixture to a stiff dough (about same consistency as shortcrust pastry).

Roll out biscuit dough to approximately half-inch thick and press out rounds with a 4 inch cutter. Place on greased baking trays. reroll any leftover pastry to make more biscuits.

Bake biscuits in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with extra caster sugar, then transfer to a wire tray. Allow to cool before serving.
