Yield Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
6 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg, beaten to blend
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup dried currants
1 large egg yolk, beaten to blend
Additional sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Flour large baking sheet. Blend first 6 ingredients in processor until oats are coarsely ground. Add butter; cut in using on/off turns until coarse meal forms. Transfer to bowl. Add beaten whole egg and buttermilk. Using fork, stir to incorporate. Mix in currants (dough will be sticky). Turn dough out onto floured surface. Using floured hands, shape dough into 8-inch round. Using floured 1 3/4-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out scones. Gather scraps, reshape, and cut out more scones. Transfer to sheet. Brush tops with yolk. Sprinkle with additional sugar.
  • Bake scones until golden, about 18 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

I love these scones! They're the perfect combination of sweet and tart, and they're always a hit with my friends and family.

These scones were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

These scones were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I made these scones with fresh blueberries instead of currants and they were just as good!

I followed the recipe exactly and my scones turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a hit! They were light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The currants added a nice pop of flavor and texture.
