Quantities are estimated based on standard recipes for your convenience. The actual ingredients used in this video are accurate.

1

Combine flour, butter or margarine, shortening, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

2

Use a food processor, hands, or grate frozen butter/margarine into the flour mixture.

3

Add cold water gradually until the mixture holds together without kneading.

4

Wrap the dough in clear cling wrap and refrigerate to chill for flakiness.

5

In a separate bowl, combine dry currants, brown sugar, cinnamon powder, and melted butter or margarine for the filling.

6

Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator and divide it into two equal parts for easier handling.

7

Roll out each piece of dough to about 10 by 17 inches, ensuring it's not too thin to prevent currants from bursting through.

8

Spread an equal amount of currant filling onto each rolled-out dough piece.

9

Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log, pinching the ends to seal.

10

Place the rolled dough into a greased baking dish and brush with egg wash or milk.

11

Bake in the oven at 375°F for about 45 to 48 minutes until golden brown.

12

Let the currant rolls cool slightly before slicing them diagonally to your desired thickness.
