Rock Cakes

These are a bit like scones, but they come out shaped like rocks. If you leave them lying around for a couple of days, they'll taste like rocks too, so eat them up fast!

2 cups flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp sugar
4 oz butter
1 cup currants
2 beaten eggs
0.25 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350F.

Sieve flour, baking powder & sugar into a bowl. Cut butter into pieces and rub it into the flour until the mix resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in everything else, and mix to form a stiff batter.

Put rounded tablespoons of the batter onto a greased baking sheet, about two inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cool on a rack. These will keep in an airtight tin for a few days at most.
