 In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, nutmeg and currants. Work in the
 softened butter. When well mixed, add the balance of the liquids and mix
 in well. The final consistency should be of a thick oatmeal or drop
 cookie dough. Add water or cream if necessary. Press dough flat into
 palm sized cakes, about a 1/4 inch thick. Prick with a fork, and bake
 for 10 minutes. The edges should turn a light brown when done."  >>
    If I may offer a slight variant......... *My* favorite way to get this 
dough moist enough is to add more sherry as the extra liquid. Amazing what it 
does for the flavor........ ;-) I also tend to mix the sugar for the icing 
with sherry rather than water. Yummy stuff, if perhaps not *quite* what Digby 
intended! *grin*
