Buns

Mix half a pound each of butter and sugar with three pounds of sifted flour, rubbing them together thoroughly, and add a pound of currants washed and dried, some caraway seed and three ounces of yeast and set the paste to rise for half an hour. Mix well and let the dough stand again until it is well risen; then roll out and shape into small cakes, place these on greased baking-sheets in a hot oven, and bake until done.
