A word about 'currants' - Currants in the context of baking recipes: there are two completely unrelated things called Currants in English. Whenever a 'British' or Commonwealth baking recipe calls for Currants (and most American recipes for that matter); they are asking for the dried raisin of the Corinthian Grape. These are sometimes called Zante Currants, Zante Raisins or Corinthian Raisins: Go to the grocery store and pick up a bag of dry currants in the baking aisle and read the ingredients / info on the package... They are most likely raisins.
Most people are confusing them with Red or Black currants which are part of the Gooseberry family and almost always eaten or cooked from fresh. Growing Red and Black Currants from the Gooseberry family were banned from the United States in the early 1900s, and since that time they are hard to find.

Hermit Cookies
Your favorite baker, Bea, is back! And this time she's making Hermit Cookies, a spiced cookie that dates back to the late 1800s. Bea used to pack these bites of goodness into the lunch bags of her 7 children when they were young and later shipped them off in care packages when they went away to college. Bea adds coffee which bring a little extra depth of flavor to the cookie and a little bit of love which of course is always her secret ingredient.

Hermits Cookie Recipe
This simple and easy recipe comes from the original recipe from the bakers and sailors of the Intrepid! From a recent trip to the museum, from their exhibit Navy Cakes, I got this recipe for their version of Hermits. This has been scaled down to accommodate a much smaller serving size.
I've also included a second part to this video, to include a more traditionally known version of Hermits. Enjoy!
