Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
- 2
Rub the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, then stir in the currants.
- 3
Add the beaten egg and milk and mix until a firm dough forms, adding a splash more milk only if it feels too dry to come together.
- 4
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into rounds with a 2 1/2-inch cutter, rerolling the scraps.
- 5
Heat a greased griddle or heavy skillet over medium-low heat and cook the cakes for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through to the center.
- 6
Transfer the warm cakes to a plate, dust generously with granulated sugar, and serve warm or at room temperature with butter or jam.
