CURRANT SCONES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Using a pastry cutter or 2 forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and currants; stir to combine.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about 1 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Reroll the scraps; continue cutting.
- Lightly brush the top of each scone with beaten egg; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until the biscuits are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve with butter and preserves on the side.
- MAKING SCONES
- The dough for scones, like that of biscuits, should be handled as little as possible. Cut out scones by pressing straight through the dough with a bench scraper (or with a biscuit cutter). Brush the tops with heavy cream or beaten egg, then sprinkle with sanding sugar so the scones glisten when they come out of the oven.
