Somebody wanted the recipe for English tea cakes...

Rub the fat in the flour, then add the currants, sugar, peel and mixed
spice. Add sufficient milk to make into a soft dough. Roll out to half an
inch thickness and cut to shape with a round cutter. Brush with beaten egg
to glaze and bake at about 350F for 10 to 15 minutes. These are nice split
and spread with butter.
