I have no idea what they are either but I know that if I made them mine would be the best. And they'd be twice as big as those tiny Brit ones. And I would put that corn syrup stuff in mine. And Hershey bars.

Yes the flakey pastry is made with butter and filled with currants. Sugar is normally sprinkled on top.
