• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking soda

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and caraway in a mixing bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in currants.

Step 3

Mix in beaten egg. Pour in buttermilk and mix with a fork to make a soft dough (may need a little more buttermilk).

Step 4

On a floured surface, shape dough into a ball and knead lightly 5 or 6 times. Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick and cut into squares and triangles with a knife. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 5

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until slightly browned.
