Oh, the memories evoked watching this! I grew up learning how to make pastry from my British mother (I am American) and out of a cookbook similar to the one you showed. All the different pastries - suet, flaky, short, dripping, etc. - recipes shown in paragraph form, were just how I learned. One suggestion - would it be possible to turn the volume of the music down a wee bit? I could hear your narration, but felt like the music was too loud, so it was a bit difficult to hear what you were saying, unless I turned the volume up, at which point the music was too loud. Oh, also, if you don't have a cutter the size you wish, you might have a small plate, saucer, or even lid from something out of the fridge that is the right size, which you can place on the pastry and use a knife to trace around. These looked marvelous, and are a childhood favorite. I haven't made them in 45 years, but that's about to change. Thanks so much, and I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. This was my first video of yours and I am now subscribing.
I have this book it was handed down from my Grandmother! ❤

Better if made with just currants.
@truckerfromreno So make YOURS with just currants, then! The recipe calls for currants and mixed peel. She follows old recipes. Jeesh!
