Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup Seedless raisins
- 1/2 cup Chopped citron

Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- 2On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Spread the dough with the butter. Sprinkle with flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Evenly distribute the raisins, chopped citron, and currants over the dough. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 1-inch slices.
