This recipe was given to my grandmother many, many years ago by an old Welsh lady. They are a family favorite in all generations. They are different from the other recipes listed here as they do NOT have milk-eggs are the only liquid.
Ingredients:
4 cups flour
1 cup margarine or 1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup raisins or 1 cup currants
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Beat margarine & sugar together.
2. Add eggs & beat till smooth.
3. Add dry ingredients & stir till just nicely mixed.
4. Roll out on floured surface to 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick.
5. Cut into rounds using a small glass or round cookie cutter (we've always used a small glass).
6. Cook in frying pan till nicely browned on one side; flip & brown the other side. (approx. 3-4 minute per side).
7. Remove to baking rack to cool.
8. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
