These unique cookies are great when cooked on a griddle. Similar to a sweet scone with currants, they’re perfect for an impromptu tea.

Ingredients

1 tsp. finely grated orange zest
1 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 C. unsalted butter (1 stick), cold and diced, plus more for cooking
1/2 tsp. fine salt
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 C. all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
2-3 Tbs. buttermilk
3/4 C. currants
3/4 C. sugar, plus more for sprinkling
Melted butter, for cooking

Directions

Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, zest, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture looks sandy. Stir in the currants. Beat the eggs and 2 Tbs. of the buttermilk together. Stir into the dry ingredients to make a shaggy dough, add more buttermilk if the dough is dry. Gather dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Roll the dough on a floured workspace into a piece about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 2 to 3- inch rounds. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. Brush the pan surface with butter. Cook the cookies until slightly brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a rack, sprinkle with sugar and cool. Store in a cookie tin.
