Ingredients
-
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
4 teaspoons baking powder
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
-
½ cup milk
-
⅓ cup dried currants
-
¼ cup sour cream
-
1 large egg, lightly beaten
-
1 tablespoon milk
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir together 1/2 cup milk, currants, and sour cream in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture with a fork until just moistened and holding together.
-
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle. Fold the rectangle into thirds. Turn dough a half turn, gather any crumbs, and flatten back into a rectangle; repeat once more. Cut the rectangle into eight triangular pieces and transfer to a silicone baking mat.
-
Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together in a small bowl. Brush egg wash over the top of each scone.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until scones have risen and turned golden brown, about 15 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and transfer to wire rack to cool.
