["Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.", "Sift the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder together. Mix the butter pieces into the dry ingredients and quickly mix with your fingers or a biscuit cutter. Add the currants or raisins and stir with a fork. Mix eggs and milk in a separate bowl. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and milk. Working with 1/4 of the dough at a time, shape into a ball and pat out to about 1-inch thickness, onto a lightly-floured board.", "At this point, you can either use a cookie cutter (like a 3-leaf clover), a biscuit cutter, or you can cut the dough into triangles.", "Bake for 12-13 minutes or until a very light brown. These are especially tasty when drizzled with frosting made of powdered sugar and milk.", "For more details and a step-by-step, you can click on the \"related blog post\"" above.""
