Old-Fashioned Christmas Drop Cakes

1. 1

   Mix the currants with some of the flour.

2. 2

   Work butter and sugar together to a smooth cream, then slowly work in whole eggs one at a time.

3. 3

   Add a little of the flour, rind and juice of the lemon and salt.

4. 4

   Work in slowly the rest of the flour and the currants.

5. 5

   Drop by spoonfuls on large buttered pans, pressing flat with a knife as the cakes are better when very thin.

6. 6

   A good plan is to heat the pan a bit and allow the cakes to melt as much as possible before putting them in the oven to bake.

7. 7

   Be sure to butter the pans thoroughly; otherwise, the thin cakes will be difficult to remove.
