Directions:
1. Sift all dry ingredients into a large bowl
2. Cut in the shortening until crumbly.
3. Stir in the currants or rasins.
4. Mix the beaten eggs and cream together. Pour over flour mixture and mix with a fork until dough holds together (do not over mix)

6. Divide dough into 8 pieces; form each into a flat circle.
7. Score with a knife into pie shaped wedges.
