Orange-Currant Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the orange zest, orange juice, egg, dried currants, and milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
-
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (5 cm) thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
-
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
