Courteney Cox's Currant Scones
3 cups All purpose flour
3 tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
6 tablespoons Chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup Dried currants
1 Egg, beaten to blend
3/4 cup Buttermilk, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
3 tablespoons Buttermilk
1 tablespoon Milk
Butter or whipped cream
Assorted jams
Preheat oven to 425 F. Lightly flour large baking sheet.
Mix flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Mix in currants. Mix in egg and enough buttermilk to form soft dough.
Turn dough out onto floured surface. Pat dough into 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut out rounds, using 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Gather scraps, press together and pat out to 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut out additional rounds.
Transfer scones to prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with milk. Bake until scones are golden brown and cooked through, about 18 minutes.
Serve warm with butter or whipped cream and jam.
