8 ozs. flour
2 ozs. margarine
3 ozs. sugar
¼ teaspoonful mixed spice
1 egg
½ teaspoonful of baking-powder
2 ozs. lard
2 ozs. currants
Pinch of salt
A little milk
Rub fat into flour. Add dry ingredients, then egg and milk. Mix into a stiff paste - as stiff as for short pastry. Roll out, cut into rounds and bake on a griddle until golden brown - about 3 to 4 minutes each side.
The tricky bit is to stop Bumble scoffing them all while they're still warm (smothered in butter).
