Currant Biscuits

Currant biscuits bring us a little sweetness. They have little dried currants, a little extra sugar and are topped with cinnamon sugar. Yum!

I have a few tips for forming the biscuits. The dough needs to be rolled out evenly. When you cut the shapes, cut straight down instead of twisting. Space the cuts as closely as possible to minimize scraps. You can roll out the scraps and make more biscuits but the more you do this, the tougher the dough gets. Placing them upside down on the baking sheet gives you straighter sides and brushing the tops with eggs or milk gives you  some extra browning.
