Traditional Shropshire Soul Cakes

Mix flour, sugar, and warm spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice).

Rub in butter until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.

Stir in plenty of currants.

Add egg yolks and enough milk to form a firm dough.

Roll out and cut into rounds. Mark each with a cross on top.

Bake at 190°C for 12-15 minutes until pale golden.

Traditionally given to 'soulers' who visited houses on All Souls' Day.
