1.5 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup cold butter, but into pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup currants
butter and fruit preserves to serve
Method
- In a food processor blend together flour, oats, baking powder, sugar and salt. Process briefly. With the motor running add butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Leave in the food processor.
- Mix together cream and eggs. Add to the butter mixture in the food processor with the motor running. Process until a dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead currants into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed. Pat the dough into circles about 2.5cm thick. Score into wedges. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 180 deg C for 15 minutes until golden brown. Serve with butter and fruit preserves.
