Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
• 2 tsp grated orange zest
• 1/4 cup dried currants
• 1 large egg
• 5 tbsp heavy cream

Method

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. In medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add butter with pastry blender or fork until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in zest and currants. In a small bowl, beat egg and cream with fork. Add to flour mixture. Turn dough on lightly floured surface. Pat into 6 inch rounds, 1 inch thick. Cut dough with pizza cutter into 8 wedges. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 12-15 minutes.

Notes: If you would like to make smaller slices, split dough in half and cut 8 slices. This will make 16 small scones.

Number of servings: 8-16
