SCOTTISH CURRANT SLAB
I saw this recipe on 'The People's Cookbook'. It was sent in by a Scottish lady and I believe that the recipe was her late mother's. It won its dessert heat, and quite deservedly so. It's a delicious mix of buttery pastry and currants, with a secret ingredient to keep it wonderfully moist. It's a winner in my house!
