    List of Ingredients





    2 Cups all purpose flour
    1/4 Cup dark brown sugar -- firmly packed
    1 1/2 Tsp baking powder
    1/2 Tsp baking soda
    1/4 Tsp ground cinnamon
    1/4 Tsp ground nutmeg
    1/4 Tsp salt
    1/2 Cup dried currants
    1/4 c unsalted butter
    2 Tb dark molasses (do not use blackstrap)
    3/4 c buttermilk
    Melted butter
    sugar

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 425ºF. Sift flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into a large bowl. Add dried currants. Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter with dark molasses in heavy small saucepan over low heat. Combine molasses mixture with buttermilk and pour into dry ingredients. Mix dough until just blended. Gently knead dough on generously floured surface until smooth, about 20 turns. Divide dough in half. Pat out each dough piece into 5-inch diameter round. Cut each dough round into 4 wedges. Transfer dough wedges to ungreased cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake until scones are just firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Serve scones hot.
