Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar
4 tsp (20 mL) baking powder
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
1/4 cup (50 mL) cold butter
1 cup (250 mL) milk (approx)
Cinnamon Topping:
1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, softened
1 cup (250 mL) packed brown sugar
1 tbsp (15 mL) cinnamon
1/3 cup (75 mL) currants or chopped raisins
Preparation:
In large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in milk, stirring lightly with fork, and adding a little more milk if needed to make dough soft. Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll into 12- x 8-inch (30 x 20 cm) rectangle.
Cinnamon Topping: In bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Drop 1 tsp (5 mL) into each of 12 large greased muffin cups. Spread remaining mixture over dough rectangle. Sprinkle currants over top; roll up, jelly roll style, from long side. Cut into 12 equal slices. Place in muffin cups.
Put baking sheet on oven rack below muffin cups to catch any drips. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until golden brown and cinnamon filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Turn out immediately onto heatproof tray and serve warm.
Personal Thoughts
I did not get to do this at the school but i will be doing it at my house and not putting raisins in it because raisins are so nasty. I would be using food safety when I'm cutting the dough with knife and taking the plate out of the oven. This is my favourite thing we have made because I make it all the time and its going to be easy. Plus it always turns out great when I make it. But I would recommend that you do not try to eat a spoon full of Cinnamon dumb idea.
