Directions: |
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 tablespoons of the buttermilk together. Stir into the dry ingredients to make a shaggy dough, add more buttermilk if the dough is dry. Work the 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 to 5 minutes on each side.
Transfer to a rack, sprinkle with sugar and cool. Store them in a cookie tin. |

Notes: You can re-roll the trimmed pieces to make more cookies, but take care not to overwork the dough or they'll come out tough.
