Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 500F/260C.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix everything together.
- Cut cold butter in several pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like small crumbs.
- Add currants (or whatever you want to mix in) and mix with a spoon or spatula until well combined.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Add to flour a little at a time. Careful! You might not need the entire amount so don't dump it all in at once. Stir with a spoon or spatula until dough forms a ball.
- Knead dough several times on well-floured surface with well-floured hands until the surface of the dough is smooth and doesn't have any cracks.
- Press dough to 1 inch [25mm] thickness. Cut out scones using a round biscuit or scone cutter or a small jam jar or glass. You should get anywhere from 7 to 12 scones, depending on the size of your cutter.
- Transfer scones to a lined baking pan. Gather remaining dough into a ball, knead it together once or twice smooth, and again roll it out to 1 inch [25mm] thickness. Cut out the rest of your scones and transfer them to your baking sheet.
- Brush the top of the scones using what's left of the milk and egg mixture or whisk one additional egg with 1 tsp milk, cream or water in a small bowl. Brush on the tops of the scones.
- Turn oven down to 425 F/215C. Bake smaller scones for 10-12 minutes and large scones for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, clotted cream, whipped cream, lemon curd or jam. Enjoy!
- Scones are best eaten the day they're made but I've found they're ok the next day, too.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cover currants with warm water in a bowl and set aside to moisten.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment at low speed, mix white sugar and salt into the flour mixture. Add all the unsalted butter to the mixer bowl and mix on low speed until butter cubes reduce to the size of small peas, about 30 seconds.
- Drain currants and discard soaking water; mix currants, buttermilk, and lemon zest into the flour mixture on low speed just until the dough starts to hold together.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently shape into a rectangle 18 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 1 1/2 inches thick. Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar crystals.
- Cut the dough in half crosswise with a sharp knife; cut each half into thirds, and cut each third diagonally to make 12 triangular-shaped scones. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until scones are lightly golden brown, about 18 minutes. Eat warm.

CURRANT SCONES
In Britain, these are teatime favorites, but in the States, we like them for breakfast, too. You'll get tall, flaky, buttery scones that are excellent partners with your finest jams.

Steps:
- 1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
- 2. TO MAKE THE DOUGH BY HAND: Whisk the milk and 2 eggs together in a small bowl; set aside. Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and nutmeg into a medium bowl. Add the butter and mix quickly to coat the butter with the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour, scraping the butter off the blender as needed, until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs with some pea-size pieces of butter. Mix in the currants. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the milk mixture and mix just until the dough clumps together. TO USE A MIXER: Whisk the milk and 2 eggs together in a small bowl; set aside. Sift the dry ingredients together into the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer. Add the butter. Attach the bowl to the mixer and fit with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until the mixture looks mealy with some pea-size bits of butter. Mix in the currants. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the milk mixture, mixing just until the dough barely comes together.
- 3. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of flour on top. Knead the dough a few times, just until it doesn't stick to the work surface. Do not overwork the dough. The surface will be floured, but the inside of the dough should remain on the wet side. Gently roll out the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick round.
- 4. Using a 2 1/2-inch fluted biscuit cutter, dipping the cutter into flour between cuts, cut out the scones (cut straight down and do not twist the cutter) and place 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared half-sheet pan. To get the most biscuits out of the dough, cut out the scones close together in concentric circles. Gather up the dough scraps, knead very lightly, and repeat to cut out more scones. You should get two scones from the second batch of scraps. Brush the tops of the scones lightly with the beaten egg, being sure not to let the egg drip down the sides (which would inhibit a good rise).
- 5. Place the scones in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 400°F. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on the pan for a few minutes, then serve warm or cool completely.

BRITISH CURRANT SCONES, ATK
I like these scones plain, because of the delicious flavor, but you may serve with butter, clotted cream, and jam. And hot tea, of course! If you have any left the next day, they can be split and toasted.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
- Place dry ingredients in bowl of food processor fitted with a metal blade; pulse until well combined.
- Add butter cubes. They should be firm but not hard, and pliable if you squeeze one between your fingers. Pulse until butter is fully combined with flour mixture. No chunks of butter should remain.
- Transfer flour & butter mixture to large mixing bowl. Add ¾ cup currants, stir into flour mix. Use your fingers, and separate any currants that are stuck together in clumps.
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Reserve 2 TB of mixture to brush on tops of scones before baking. Add remaining eggs and milk to bowl with flour and currants. Stir together gently with a rubber spatula until all dry ingredients are moistened. Dough will be somewhat sticky.
- Turn onto generously floured counter, knead 15 to 20 turns with floured hands. Use a bench scraper if needed to get dough off of counter.
- Roll out 3/4 to 1" thick on floured board. Cut into 2 1/4 inch rounds, dipping cutter into flour between cuts, and do not twist the cutter- cut straight down. This should make about 18 scones, or more if using smaller cutter. Place onto baking tray lined with parchment. Knead scraps together once or twice and cut remaining rounds until all dough is used. Brush scones on tops only with reserved egg mixture.
- Put scones into preheated 500 degree oven, turn heat down to 425 degrees F, and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top and bottom. Reverse pans halfway through baking time.
- Cool on rack a few minutes before serving.

CLASSIC CURRANT SCONES
Overworking the dough will make the scones tough, so handle it as little as possible. The dough should come together into a rough mound and should feel slightly sticky.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rubbing between your fingers until it is in pea sized lumps. Stir in the currants. Mix together 1/2 cup milk and sour cream in a measuring cup. Pour all at once into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until well blended. Overworking the dough results in terrible scones!
- With floured hands, pat scone dough into balls 2 to 3 inches across, depending on what size you want. Place onto a greased baking sheet, and flatten lightly. Let the scones barely touch each other. Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are golden brown, not deep brown. Break each scone apart, or slice in half. Serve with butter or clotted cream and a selection of jams - or even plain.
