Traditional Northern Singing Hinnies

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Rub in cold fats (usually a mix of butter and lard/shortening) until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.

Add currants and a little sugar.

Add just enough milk to bring it together into a soft dough.

Roll out to about 1cm thickness and cut into rounds.

Cook on a hot griddle or large frying pan. As the fat melts and sizzles against the hot surface, they 'sing' (hence the name).

Fry for about 5 minutes on each side until golden-speckled.

Serve hot with butter and jam.
