Ingredients

4 cups flour

3 Tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

3 Tablespoons sugar

1 cup butter or margarine

1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger

1 cup currants or chopped raisins, pecans, or almonds

Egg wash

Instructions:

Mix first 7 ingredients in a food processor. Put in a large bowl and stir in the raisins or nuts. Add milk and mix very carefully. Turn out onto a slightly floured surface and gently knead only to mend the dough together. Divide into two portions. Roll out to about 1-1/4 inches thick and cut into wedges, about 6 to 8 per portion. Put onto an ungreased baking sheet and separate slightly so that the wedges are about 1/2 inch apart. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 15 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with butter or favorite preserves.
