طريقه التحضير
Bring oven to 400°F heat.
Combine butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add egg yolk and beat gently.
Add flour and spices and mix well then add currants and orange and lemon peel.
Add enough amount of milk to form a soft dough.
Transfer dough onto a floured flat surface
Knead dough gently then cut into 2-inch circles.
Prick the tops of biscuits using a fork.
Transfer dough onto two greased baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes. Then remove from oven.
Brush tops lightly with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar, then return biscuits to oven.
Bake for about 5 minutes, until the tops of biscuits have a golden color, then remove from oven.
Transfer onto wire racks and allow to cool.
When cooled, keep biscuits in an airtight container.
-When grating the lemon and orange, avoid getting the white pith which has a bitter taste. You can use a grater, a potato peeler, or a zester instead.

-To cut dough into circles, you can use a cookie cutter or the rim of a small drinking glass.
