Do all butter [censored] contain raisins or currants? "Butter [censored]" sound delicious; raisins and currants do not.

It's entirely up to you what is added. Traditional butter [censored] have raisins. But... they would be good with pecans or walnuts or whatever you decide to use.
All the variations I've tasted were really very good, traditional or not, but currants or raisins are the most traditional from what I've since dredged up from "historical" searches. Pecans with this mixture would be very nearly like a traditional Southern USian Pecan Pie! Also very good, IMHO...
You'll find him quite willing to compromise on many other subjects. He even lets me use walnuts in pesto instead of pine nuts. But some things are sacred, and butter [censored] are one of them.

Similar to mine. I posted a whole slew of recipes. Isn't amazing how many variations there can be?

Salut Gloria
Leave them out if you prefer but the trad recipe has currants. Even the raisins are a deviation. I make them with finely chopped walnuts. Zee

Thanks! That sounds delicious. I have saved the recipe to use (with nuts, no currants)if we ever get off this low- carb diet.

You'll get off it fast if you one of these! :-)
A friend who has been low-carbing for quite a while "jolts" herself about every 3 months with 1 day of things like butter [censored], then goes strictly back on Atkin's. She says it helps to restart the process.

And I always thought it was raisins.
I felt the same way about the raisins...until I started soaking them in cognac or rum to plump them up....makes a big of difference.
15 minutes sitting in a glass of cognac changes everything....even if it is the raisins sitting.

Wow, Helen, now I have a whole bunch to try! They all sound good and will go directly to my recipe software. Butter [censored] are one of my favorites!

Well, enjoy, Wayne, but not too much or you'll be in my shoes.... on Weightwatchers! ; ))
Ha! My SO and I were on WW from the day after last Thanksgiving until about a month ago when he went through quadruple arterial bypass surgery. We'll be getting back to WW in another couple of week. When I bake things like this, I now have to give all but 1 serving away! (It's still worth it just for the taste.)

You've better willpower than I! I'm doing ok with my breads, but butter [censored]? No way!

I certainly don´t where I live now, and the supermarkets I used in rural Washington state didn´t have a UK section either.
That surprises me. We don't live too far from where you used to live (Belfair area, right?) and we have Bird's Custard Powder in the grocery store. Not in a special UK section, though.

Shelton....where the Hispanic and Asian sections were the predominant foods. The burgeoning Hispanic population of the area has more buying power when it comes to food products. There was very little in the way of UK food. At one time it was sold, but was discontinued. No market for it.

Do all butter [censored] contain raisins or currants? "Butter [censored]" sound delicious; raisins and currants do not.

There is 1 or 2 fixes for that.
First fix: is don't use the raisins or currants ...treat them as optional.
Second: soak those pesky criters in brandy or rum for 15 minutes before use. This totally changes their texture and taste.
Third: Replace them with either chopped pecans or chopped walnuts.
