    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 cups flour
    1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    2 tablespoons orange peel
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup cold butter
    1/2 cup currants or dried blueberries
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 egg yolk
    3/4 cup buttermilk

    ICING:
    3/4 cup powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon softened butter
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla
    1 tablespoon warm water

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375ºF. Mix flour, baking powder, soda, orange peel and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, toss currants in sugar. Add to dry ingredients. Mix well.

    In small bowl, mix egg yolk and buttermilk and pour into flour mixture just to blend. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead with hands and roll into 11" circle. Cut into wedges and place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Do not overbake. When cool, drizzle with powdered sugar icing. Powdered Sugar Icing: In a small bowl combine sugar, butter, and vanilla. Gradually blend in water until icing is smoothly mixed and of a good consistency for drizzling.
