  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   8       oz           Plain flour
     1/4   ts           Bicarbonate of Soda
     1/2   ts           Cream of Tartar
     1/2   ts           Salt
   3       oz           Lard
   3       oz           Currants
                        Milk

  Lightly grease a large thick based frying pan or girdle.
  
  Sift flour, bicarb, cream of tartar and salt into a bowl. Add lard, cut
  into small pieces, and rub in with the fingertips until mixture resembles
  fine breadcrumbs. Add currants and about 6 tablespoons milk; stir with a
  fork until just mixed to a soft dough. Place frying pan over a low heat.
  
  Turn out onto a floured board and knead lightly. Roll out to a circle, 8
  inches diameter. Place in frying pan and cook until golden brown on
  underside - about 15 minutes. Turn with a fish-slice; lightly press down
  edges with the slice and cook on the other side for a further 8 to 10
  minutes.
  
  Remove from pan. Split in half with a sharp knife, spread half with butter,
  sandwhich together and cut into wedges. Serve hot.

  This is a recipe we picked up when we were living in County Durham -
  Northern England. Very popular because it's cheap, simple, filling, and
  delicious.
