Now work in
One-half cup of currants,
Or
One-half cup of raisins,
One-quarter cup of finely chopped citron,
One teaspoon cinnamon,
One-half teaspoon nutmeg,
One-half teaspoon allspice.
Divide into six pieces and then roll out the size of a saucer and about three-quarters of an inch thick. Make two cuts forming a cross, dividing the dough into four wedge-shaped pieces. Brush with beaten egg and bake for fifteen minutes in a hot oven. This amount will make twenty-four scones. To serve, split and fill with jam and then pile on a wicker basket, cover with a napkin and serve with tea.
