Directions:
- Position oven rack in center of oven; preheat oven to 400°.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- In a bowl, stir the egg and cream together.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
- Drop in the butter and, using your fingers, toss to coat the pieces of butter with flour.
- Quickly, working with your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is pebbly.
- You’ll have pea-size pieces, pieces the size of oatmeal flakes and pieces the size of everything in between—that is just right.
- Pour the egg mixture over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until the dough, which will be wet and sticky, comes together (don’t overdo it); gently stir in the currants.
- Still in the bowl, gently knead the dough by hand, or turn it with a rubber spatula 8-10 times.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour and turn out the dough; divide it in half.
- Working with one piece at a time, pat the dough into a rough circle that is about 5 inches diameter, cut it into 6 wedges and place it on a baking sheet.
- Bake the scones for 20-22 minutes, or until their tops are golden and firmish.
- Transfer them to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before serving, or wait for them to cool to room temperature.
- Serve with a tart, chunky citrus marmalade or a berry jam.
