Welsh Cookies
Dad says his mother used to make these cookies. Mom makes them and everybody thinks they're delicious!
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup dried currants
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
Combine all dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, blend in the butter and shortening until mixture is crumbly. Add currants. In a small separate bowl, beat the egg and and milk together. Add to flour mixture and gently combine just until a dough forms. Roll out dough to about 1/4" thickness (using a floured rolling pin and board). Cut with a 3" round cookie cutter. Heat up a griddle over medium heat until water drops jump and spatter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Can be frozen.
