Make it lactose-friendly
- 1 gill of butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil
- 1 tablespoonful of milk → lactose-free milk, oat milk, or almond milk
Steps
- Beat the butter to a cream, and gradually beat in the sugar and spice. Dissolve the soda in the milk, and beat this into the sugar and butter. Add the egg, well beaten, and finally the flour and currants. Roll out about an inch thick, and cut in squares. Bake in rather a quick oven for about twelve minutes.
- The sugar should be the soft maple. The clove may be omitted. If maple sugar is not to be had, white sugar may be used.
