List of Ingredients




2 1/4 Cups flour
2 1/2 Tsp baking powder
1/2 Tsp salt
1/2 Cup currants
1 egg -- slightly beaten
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 Tsp baking soda
1/2 Cup cold butter -- cubed
1 c buttermilk


Recipe



Preheat oven to 425¼F. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; add butter and process until the mixture resembles coarsely ground meal. Transfer to a bowl. [Use a pastry cutter if you don't have a food processor.] Add currants, then buttermilk, stirring quickly with a fork until the dough is soft and slightly sticky. With floured hands, press the dough into a ball. Knead delicately a dozen times. Flatten the dough into a 1" thick circle. Cut into 3" disks. Repeat this with remaining dough. Paint the scones with egg. Bake 12-15 minutes.
