Singing hinnies

Ingredients

• 115 g chilled butter, cut into small pieces
• 225 g plain flour, sifted, plus extra for rolling
• 100 ml milk
• 50 ml soured cream
• 25 g currants
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil

Method

1. Rub the chilled butter into the sifted flour until the mixture has the texture of fine crumbs, then stir in the currants, salt and baking powder.
2. Combine the milk and soured cream. Add this gradually to the dry mixture and bring it together as a soft dough, using only a little additional milk if it remains dry.
3. Knead the dough briefly on a floured surface, roll it to about 2cm thick and stamp out rounds 6–8cm across.
4. Lightly oil a flat griddle or large non-stick frying pan and warm it over a medium-high heat. Cook the rounds on both sides until evenly golden, then serve them hot.
