Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp milk

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Whisk flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir together 1/2 cup milk, sour cream, and currants in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture with a fork until just moistened and holding together.
  4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into rectangle.
  5. Fold the rectangle in thirds. Turn dough a half turn, gather any crumbs, flatten back into a rectangle, and repeat. Cut into eight pieces and place each scone on a silicone baking mat.
  6. Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together in a small bowl; brush mixture on top of each scone.
  7. Bake scones in the preheated oven until risen and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove and transfer to cooling rack.
