4 tablespoons of raspberry jam

Pu the flour and the nutmeg in a bowl and rub in the butter so that fin crumbs appear.  Then stir in the sugar along with the currants.  Beat up the egg and add it to the mixture along with some milk so that a firm dough is created.  You then roll this dough to form 12 balls.  Place them onto a baking sheet which has been lightly greased.  Make an indent in each ball and then fill them with jam.  Place them into the oven which is at 375 F for approximately 20 minutes so that they are golden and firm.  Allow them to cool on a wire tray before serving.
