Ingredients
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6. Lightly grease two baking trays.
-
Cream together the butter and sugar, and beat in the egg yolk.
-
Sift together the flour, salt and spices. Fold into the creamed mixture with the currants and peel. Add the milk to form a soft dough.
-
Knead lightly on a floured work surface, and roll out to 8mm/1⁄4in thick. Cut out using a 6cm/2 1⁄2in fluted cutter, and put on the baking trays.
-
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then brush with egg white and sprinkle with caster sugar. Return to the oven for a further 10–15 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven, and carefully slide onto a wire rack to cool.
