Busy-Day Current Scones
In a hurry? Just drop dough from a large spoon into 8-equal mounds on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten to about 1/2-inch thickness with floured fingers, and bake as directed.
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup firm butter or margarine
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup currants
- 4 to 6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Heat oven to 400ºF.
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in egg, vanilla, and just enough of the whipping cream until dough leaves side of bowl. Stir in currents.
Brush with additional whipping cream; sprinkle with sugar crystals.
Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm.

Dear Friends, please fill free to share comments of your memories with your grandmothers, or your thoughts on being a grandmother. ~~~♥~~~
I am going to have to try this recipe. I have never made scones before and have always wanted to. Thanks for sharing the recipe and the sweet memory :) I hope you're having a good weekend so far. It's chilly here and we had a nice, warm fire last night and this morning - I love it! And I have never heard of pickled green tomatoes. I'm sure they are very tasty! Do you have a recipe for them?

Hi Stephanie,
DeleteNo, I don't have a recipe for pickled green tomatoes. I remember them tasting so delicious, but everyone I have asked about them has never heard of them.
:) Hope
What a timelessly lovely scone recipe. These call out for clotted cream, some fresh berries, and tea served from the incredibly beautiful tea set in your post from day six.
