First of all, you need to set an electric griddle to preheat at the temperature of 350 degrees F
Take out a large bowl, and add nutmeg, flour, baking powder along with kosher salt.
now, to the flour mixture, add the butter or margarine (cold and cubes), whichever you prefer.
Using a pastry blender, mix thoroughly until the mixture looks like coarse iotas.
Fold the mixture in Zante currants along with brown sugar.
Now, in between of the flour mixture, make a well and pour milk with egg.
With the pastry blender, blend finely until it forms a dough. Don’t worry the dough will be sticky-sticky. If it is watery, then you can add some more flour.
Flour a flat surface, and place the dough. Start kneading and shape it like a disc.
With a rolling pin, roll the dough and make the thickness of 1/4 –inch. Now, use a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter and cut. With this you will have around 15 cookies!
With a non-stick cooking spray, lightly grease the electric griddle and place the cookies as many as you want without touching each other.
Heat them until golden browned one side. This won’t take more than 4 minutes for each side.
Flip over other side and cook through the same process for the other side.
Remove the cookies immediately from the griddle and sprinkle sugar while still hot.
Serve warm cookies or cool down in wire rack, the best snack to soothe your taste buds.
Tips
Here are some important tips for substitute and other details that will help you during your cooking!
The cookies must not get overcooked, you need to highly maintain them.
When you think one side of cookies is done, carefully flip them over.
To feel whether it is done or not, gently feel the edges of cookies giving a light squeeze. Don’t touch the hot griddle!
Instead of currants, raisins can be a better substitute! You will find raisins in any grocery store.

If you want your cookies to be spread, then press lightly with the back of the spoon and that’s it!
