Currant Biscuits
575. One pound of sugar,
One pound of butter,
One pound and a half of flour,
Four eggs,
One tea spoonful of cinnamon,
One tea spoonful of nutmeg,
One pound of currants.
Beat the butter and sugar together; whisk the eggs, and add to it with the other ingredients. Roll the dough out in sheets, cut it into cakes, place them on tins, sift white sugar over the top, and bake them in a moderate oven.
The currants must first be picked, washed and dried, before they are put in the cakes.
