Beat 1 egg with 1 tbsp. milk(lightly with a fork)

Add egg with milk and currants.
Form dough into a ball so it can be rolled out. If too dry add 1 tbsp. milk or more until it will hold together.
Using a rolling pin and pastry cloth lightly floured roll about a quarter inch thick. Using around cookie cutter cut out cookies. Do in batches that would fit on grill.

Notes: This recipe was from my mother's mother (my Grandmother, Ruth Whitehouse) who was Welsh. The original recipe called for lard but vegetable shortening works fine. Cookies are excellent with tea; my grandmother would take two and put butter between them.
