Directions:
- In a bowl mix rum with currants and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
- Mix from time to time so that all currants will absorb some of the rum.
- Heat the oven to 170°C.
- In a bowl or kitchen machine, cream the sugar with the butter.
- Add the egg yolk and cream again.
- Mix a little salt, a teaspoon of baking powder and both flours and sift together.
- Add to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
- You will obtain a yellow crumble. Mix in the currants and rum.
- Take a little dough in your hand an squeeze.
- If it can't keep its shape, add a little butter and work the dough until you can shape it into a ball and it won't fall apart.
- Divide the dough in to and shape two little logs. Flatten the logs to get a squarish section.
- Cut the cookies in 10mm/ 0.4'' slices.
- Place parchment paper on a baking tray and lay the cookies with at least 10mm/0.4'' spacing between each other.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Turn around the trays at mid time for a more uniform baking.
- The cookies are better if slightly brown on the edge.
- Remove from the oven and carefully lay on a cooling tray.
- The cookies need at least 20 minutes cooling to harden.
- The zalettis are best eaten within a few hours as the volatile rum-currant fragrance will dissipate after that.
- Note: Bob's Red Mill is one brand of the corn flour
