Ingredients:

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/3 cup currants

Directions:

  1. Beat together the buttermilk, egg and sugar.
  2. Mix 3 cups flour together with the baking powder, soda and salt.
  3. Add about 2/3 of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and stir well.
  4. Gradually add the melted butter, incorporating it thoroughly into the mixture.
  5. Stir in the remaining flour mixture and the currants.
  6. A little more flour may be necessary to form a stiff dough.
  7. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead for several minutes.
  8. Separate it into 3 equal parts.
  9. Shape each part into a thick circle about 4-5 inches across.
  10. Cut the circles into quarters with a sharp knife, and arrange the scones on a buttered cookie sheet (I use a baking stone).
  11. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. (watch them so they don't dry out!).
  12. Serve warm, or cold if you can wait that long.
