I make the a lot and the recipe I use is from the English Be Ro cook book. They have a great recipe site. http://www.be-ro.com/
Place butter in a small saucepan set over a low heat and melt. Remove from heat and add brown sugar, currants, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange rind and peel and stir to combine.
Roll pasty to 3mm thickness. Using an 8cm cutter cut pastry into 20 -25 rounds.
Place a teaspoon of filling onto each round.
Brush edge of half of the circle of pastry with water and bring other side up to seal it. Pinch well to seal. Turn pastry parcel over so seam is underneath.
Gently roll, or press, flat to approximately 5mm and pat into a round shape.
Place on greased baking sheets and make three diagonal slashes on top of each cake. Rest in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Brush with milk and sprinkle with castor sugar. Place in preheated oven and bake for 10- 12 minutes or till golden brown. Remove from tray while cakes are still warm.
