Currant Cakes

== Ingredients ==
* 1 lbs sugar
* 6 egg
* ¼ tsp salt
* 1 lemon, juice and zest of
* 1 lbs butter
* ¾ lbs flour
* ½ lbs red currants (or other type or currant)
== Directions ==
# Mix the currants with some of the flour.
# Work butter and sugar together to a smooth cream, then slowly work in whole eggs one at a time.
# Add a little of the flour, rind and juice of the lemon and salt.
# Work in slowly the rest of the flour and the currants.
# Drop by spoonfuls on large buttered pans, pressing flat with a knife as the cakes are better when very thin.
# A good plan is to heat the pan a bit and allow the cakes to melt as much as possible before putting them in the oven to bake.
# Be sure to butter the pans thoroughly; otherwise, the thin cakes will be difficult to remove.
