Ingredients
- 1 pound flour
- 1 pound butter

Instructions
- Mix together the flour, butter, sugar, and currants. Make these into a paste with a couple of eggs. Add a little orange flower-water and a little white wine. If the paste appears too thin when two whole eggs are used, omit the white of one egg (use yolk only). Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto a tin plate and bake.
