1 lb. currants
3/8 cup (85 ml) sugar
1/4 tsp (1.2 ml) nutmeg

Mix the currants, sugar butter and nutmeg together, set aside. Roll
out the pastry and cut using a 4” round pastry cutter. Place 1 heaping
teaspoon of the currant mixture in the centre of each piece and gather
up the edges to make a small purse and then gently roll into a circle.

score the top and then place in the Czech Cooker™. Bake for approx.
12-15 minutes at setting 4, until the cakes are light golden colour.
