KATO BABY

Yum, were these fat little rascals ever good. I loved them, as did my bil. They were perfect; crisp, crunchy and tender, full of butter and sweet treats. I didn't have any currants, so I used a mix of raisins and dried fruit (cherry and blueberry). They were wonderful in the biscuits. Thanks so much for sharing, a new family favorite. Made FYC tag game.
