Currants used in this recipe are a type of raisin. \u00a0Raisins are simply dried grapes and there are different types. Currants are seedless, dark and small, a lot smaller than what is usually referred to as the raisin. \u00a0In this easy biscuit recipe, currant biscuits, it is important not to use raisins because they are too big and they puff up and sometimes burst when baking. In this video I will show you how to bake currant biscuits.<\/p>\n
I have tried baking with both currants and raisins and the currants always turn out better. \u00a0Sultanas will not work for this recipe either.<\/p>\n
The grapes which make currants were originally cultivated in the south of Greece and most often from the island of Zante, hence the name Zante Currant in the US.<\/p>\n
The name currant comes from the ancient city of ‘Corinth’\u00a0 Other names for currants are Zante currants, Corinth raisins, or Corinthian raisins, but in the UK and Ireland, simply called\u00a0 currants.<\/p>\n
(This currant biscuit recipe makes about 24 biscuits but you can make more or less depending on the size of the biscuit cutter you use.)<\/p>\n
