List of Ingredients




2 cups flour
1/2 sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons butter, chilled
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup currants or raisins (optional)


Recipe



Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut butter into 1/2-inch cubes and put over flour mixture. Blend butter into mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl stir together buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Add the two mixtures together and stir to combine, add currants or raisins if desired.

With lightly floured hands, pat the dough into a circle 8 inches in diameter on an ungreased baking sheet. Cut into wedges. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until top is lightly brown. Cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet, then transfer to wire rack to further cool.

Makes: 8 scones
