   Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift the flour and the baking powder.
   Add a pinch of salt, mix in the brown sugar and rub in the butter.
   Add the currants, milk and just enough water to make a soft dough.
   Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to approximately 1/2
   inch thickness and using a glass, cut into 2 inch rounds. Dust each
   circle with a little sugar and place on a well greased baking sheet.
   Bake for 20 minutes or until the rascals begin to turn golden. cool
   on a rack before serving.
   
   Note by A. MacLellan--This is an English recipe and because of the
   difference in flour. I found it necessary to increase the amount of
   liquid and reduce the heat to 375 degrees. I used quite a bit of
   liquid and make a drop cookie. They take very much like the currant
   biscuits that you can buy from Marks and Spencer at a high price.
