Ingredients
-
4 cups self-raising flour
3 tbsp butter, chopped
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 cup raspberry jam, warmed, plus extra to glaze
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup currants
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Lightly grease and line a 10 x 6 inch baking tray
Sift flour into large bowl. Using fingertips, rub in butter until mixture resembles crumbs. Stir in sugar. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add milk all at once, mixing lightly to form a firm dough. Roll or press dough out to a 9 x 11 inch rectangle.
In a bowl, combine jam and cinnamon. Spread over dough, and sprinkle currants over. Roll up lengthwise to enclose filling.
Cut into (10) 1 inch-thick slices. Arrange on tray, cut-side down. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until they sound hollow when tapped. Brush with a little extra jam while still hot. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
