Traditionally cooked on a bake stone
Mix the flour , spice and salt together in a large bowl
Rub in the butter.
Add the sugar and currants and stir well
Pour the egg mixture in and mix until you have a stiff dough
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured board until about 5mm thick
Cut out rounds with a pastry cutter
Heat a flat griddle pan or heavy frying pan ( I used my Aldi electric griddle ) over a medium heat until hot and grease with a little butter
Cook the cakes for about 3 to 4 minutes each side, until they are golden brown and have risen slightly
Sprinkle with a little caster sugar and serve warm
