Welsh Cakes

This is a family tradition recipe, we got it from Ian's Granny Phillips.
Ian makes them and I help, he mixes and rolls them out and I cook them.
He takes them to poker nights and comes home with none left, that is why I always keep a few at home.
I ate two while I was posting this recipe. :)

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup margarine
2 eggs
1 cups currents

Mix together the flour, baking powder and sugar. Cut in the margarine making sure that it is mixed evenly. Add eggs one at a time, start by mixing with the wooden spoon and then move to using your hands, once you have an even mixture add the currents. Divide the dough into two even parts. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough about 1/4 inch think. Cut into rounds (we use a upside down cup that is 3 inches across). Cook on un-greased frying pan (we use a griddle) until golden brown. If using a regular frying pan cook at medium heat, (we cook at 350 F on the griddle) adjusting as necessary.
