The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


1 cup flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar (this can be reduced)
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk (as needed)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup currants
1 lemon, grated rind, Optional
Cooking directions: Cut shortening into flour. Add currants and lemon peel if used. Add egg and enough milk to make a soft dough. Knead dough for about 1/2 minute. Roll 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Use a small glass (or cookie cutter) 2 to 3 inches in diameter to cut dough into circles. Heat a griddle to medium heat. You should not need to grease the griddle. Put the cakes on the griddle and fry until the first side is a light brown, flip the cakes over and cook until the next side is also brown. I usually press the cakes down when they are first turned over because they rise quite well.
