Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift the flour and the baking powder. Add a pinch of salt, mix in the brown sugar and rub in the butter. Add the currants, milk and just enough water to make a soft dough. Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to approximately 1/2 inch thickness and using a glass, cut into 2 inch rounds. Dust each circle with a little sugar and place on a well greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the rascals begin to turn golden. Cool on a rack before serving.

Note by A. MacLellan-This is an English recipe and because of the difference in flour. I found it necessary to increase the amount of liquid and reduce the heat to 375 degrees. I used quite a bit of liquid and make a drop cookie. They take very much like the currant biscuits that you can buy from Marks and Spencer at a high price.
