When a Black Corinth grape is dried, it becomes a 'currant'! These cookies are from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food website. They have such great flavor. Her recipe says to bake for 20 minutes but I found that mine browned around the edges in 10 minutes. I posted her recipe as written but just wanted to let you know to start checking at 10 minutes.

Celebrate Easter and the start of spring with these easy currant biscuits flavoured with lemon and nutmeg. They're perfect served with a cuppa

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Afternoon tea

Time 45m

Yield Makes 40

Number Of Ingredients 8

250g unsalted butter , softened
140g golden caster sugar , plus extra for sprinkling
1 medium egg , separated and beaten
1 lemon , zested
generous grating of nutmeg
300g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
½ tsp fine salt
60g currants

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160 fan/gas 4. Place the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat together with a wooden spoon until well combined. Add the egg yolk, lemon zest and nutmeg and beat again.
  • Add the flour, salt and currants and mix everything together to make a firm dough, using your hands if necessary. Form into a puck-shape, wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
  • Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment and lightly dust your work surface with flour. Cut the dough in half and roll out to a ½ cm thickness. Cut out biscuits using a 6cm fluted cutter, lift onto one of the baking sheets with a palette knife, leaving a little space in between. Repeat with the remaining pastry to make a second tray of biscuits, re-rolling the off-cuts. Chill for 30 mins.
  • Bake for 7 mins, then remove from the oven, brush with egg white, sprinkle with extra sugar and return to the oven for 7-8 mins or until lightly golden brown. Leave to cool on the trays for 5 mins then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. - To make sure your biscuits are light and fluffy, be sure to handle the dough gently and avoid over-kneading. - When cutting out the biscuits, use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to get clean, even edges. - Place the biscuits close together on the baking sheet so that they rise up and touch each other in the oven. This will help them to stay moist and tender. - If you want a golden brown crust, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking. - Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

These lemon currant biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their light and fluffy texture and tangy lemon flavor, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or breakfast, give these biscuits a try!
