Brunch Scones

I enjoy scones with morning tea or just an afternoon snack. Serve warm with clotted cream and strawberry jam.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup currants
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with baking parchment.

Step 2
Sift flour and baking powder into a medium bowl. Rub butter and sugar into flour to form a fine crumble. Make a well in center, and add milk and currants. Knead gently together, being careful not to over mix. Dough will be sticky.

Step 3
On a generously floured surface, roll out dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Stamp out 2 1/2 inch rounds with a plain pastry cutter. Transfer to prepared pan, and brush tops with egg yolk. Allow to stand for 15 minutes.

Step 4
Bake in preheated oven until risen and lightly golden on top, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.
