Yorkshire Fat Rascals

I found this old Yorkshire teatime recipe in Great British Cooking. These currant cookies are very simple, but it's impossible to eat only one!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 12 Rascals

Ingredients

• 2  cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1  pinch salt
• 1  tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 4  ounces butter
• 1⁄2 cup currants
• 1  tablespoon milk
• 2 -3  tablespoons water (I needed 4 tbsp.)
•  sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F; Sift flour and baking powder in medium bowl.
2. Mix in the pinch of salt and brown sugar, then rub in the butter.
3. Add the currants, milk and enough water to make a soft dough.
4. On a floured surface, roll out dough to about 1/2-inch thickness, and cut into 2-inch rounds.
5. Dust the rounds with sugar, and place on a well-greased baking pan.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Rascals are lightly browned.
7. Cool on a rack.
