Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup regular margarine
1/2 lb dried currant
1/2 cup milk (about)

Directions:

Thoroughly mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until particles are the size of rice kernels. Stir in currants.
Add the milk and stir with a fork only until a soft dough is formed.
Shape dough lightly into a ball and roll out 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into rounds with a 2-inch cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 450 for 12 to 15 minutes. About 1 1/2 dozen biscuits.
