Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly flour large cookie sheet.

Step 2

In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add butter and blend until mixture resembles fine meal. Stir in currants. Mix in egg and 3/4 cup buttermilk to form soft dough.

Step 3

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Pat dough 3/4 inch thick. With 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible, gathering scraps together to use up all the dough.

Step 4

Transfer rounds to prepared cookie sheet. Brush tops with remaining buttermilk. Bake scones 18 minutes or until golden-brown and cooked through.

Delicious. Had to make these without the egg, but they still came out great, with a wonderful texture and the right amount of rising. I added a bit of orange zest and used about three times the currants, since I love my scones chock full of them. I decided to brush the tops before baking with my favorite method to crisp them (instead of the splash of buttermilk) - I used a little butter and a pinch of sugar. All of the ingredients contribute to a superior scone, but I think the buttermilk really makes them a star.
