 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8       oz           Plain flour
    1/4   ts           Bicarbonate of Soda
    1/2   ts           Cream of Tartar
    1/2   ts           Salt
  3       oz           Lard
  3       oz           Currants
                       Milk

 Lightly grease a large thick based frying pan or girdle.

 Sift flour, bicarb, cream of tartar and salt into a bowl. Add lard, cut
 into small pieces, and rub in with the fingertips until mixture resembles
 fine breadcrumbs. Add currants and about 6 tablespoons milk; stir with a
 fork until just mixed to a soft dough. Place frying pan over a low heat.

 Turn out onto a floured board and knead lightly. Roll out to a circle, 8
 inches diameter. Place in frying pan and cook until golden brown on
 underside - about 15 minutes. Turn with a fish-slice; lightly press down
 edges with the slice and cook on the other side for a further 8 to 10
 minutes.

 Remove from pan. Split in half with a sharp knife, spread half with butter,
 sandwhich together and cut into wedges. Serve hot.

 Sylvia Percival (my wife)

 This is a recipe we picked up when we were living in County Durham -
 Northern England. Very popular because it's cheap, simple, filling, and
 delicious.
