    Preparation Notes | 
	 
  
	| 1 3/4 C | 
	Flour | 
	
    -   Preheat oven to 375 degrees
 
    -   Lightly butter 2 cookie sheets and set them aside
 
    -   In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and currants
 
    -   In another bowl, stir the cream, yolk, nutmeg and 
	sherry together
 
    -  Stir the melted butter and cream mixture into the 
	flour mixture with a fork.
 
    -  Knead the dough briefly with your hands
 
    - To shape cookies, pat about two tbsps of dough between 
	your hands to form 2" oval discs about 1/4 " thick
 
    -  Place the discs on cookie sheet. (THe dough may 
	seem awkward to shape because it contains so many currants. 
 
    -  Bake the cookies for 15 minutes and transfer them 
	to a rack to cool.  Store them in an airtight container.
