Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup shortening
¼ cup milk
3 eggs, beaten

Steps:

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and nutmeg. Cut in shortening using a pastry cutter until the mixture is crumbly. Add enough milk to the eggs to make 1 full cup. Stir into the flour mixture. Mix in currants. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat a griddle to medium high heat and lightly oil. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into circles using a cookie cutter.
Fry cookies on both sides until golden. Cool on wire racks.
